Open rehearsal of “Pífia” by Cia. Totapedra

The present moment can be very absurd, but we often want to hide it, we are ashamed to show ourselves.

In a limited and dangerous setting, a manager makes sure that no one enters or touches anything. Even he himself is forbidden from entering.

Ropes, pulleys, more than 130kg of gas cylinders, a Washington trapeze, a 7.20m high structure and the waterfall technique (the art of the accident) make the weight of his body stumble and fall into the gear.

Here they will begin their balances within a system that is in balance and imbalance with the intention of correcting all the mistakes. Their modest will to leave things as they were is as great as their little clue. Luckily they will be able to count on the skill and courage of the audience.

Pífia is a Washington clown and trapeze show that brings to light those little moments of stupidity that we have all felt and experienced (more or less often), in a way this also makes us human.
