Vox Circus is a relatively new circus in São Paulo (it was inaugurated approximately one year ago) different of the other circuses that exist in the city. Localisated in the Morumbi, the circus was constructed by its owners, who had to conciliate the area of the circus and the area to parking visitors’ cars, inside of a small land. Even not having an important structure the work which is done there is very interesting. Composed for a team of only three actors, the cast looks for make an interactive show with the auditorium.
When we arrive at the entrance of the circus we really can think that the show won’t be very good because of his humble entrance so we don’t have a good impression, but just as you enter in the canvas of the circus that this dumb thought change. The actors, who work in the ticket office and in the entrance, are funny since the purchase of the tickets until the applauses in the end of the show. As the spectators go arriving, these actors go making funny comments to descontrair the public. For example, they compare the people with famous actors and when a spectator arrive more late (after the beginning of the show) they starts “to fight” with the person as if they were friends “Ah if you to want to arrive more late at the next presentation, that’s ok, I leave, but informe me”.
To catch the attention of the public the actors don’t make only acrobatics as in the others circuses, but also it has a teatral scene. The actors represent a confused couple and all the acrobatics are made as if they were with fear and as if it was the first time that they make it, unprecise and unbalanced. In the reality, the show is entirely projected without unexpected facts. It also has a third character that is the employee of the couple. This is represented as a person she-ass and clean palco enters the acrobatics of the couple. While she makes this service, the employee tells her life to the public. The way of the characters interacts with the people is different and descontract. In the end of the show the actors present them acrobatics as in a conventional circus with a pretty game of light. The spectators that before saw them as only clowns now see them as really tumblers, at least I got this conclusion when I was view the show. After all presentations the actors put a video which is the retrospect of what they had passed to construct the circus. The video is very interesting and shows step by step how the circus was made by its owners. In the end they conclude selling t-shirts of the circus because they had not yet gotten sponsorship in this one year of career.
The show presented at the moment is called “Curta a Temporada”.
