27/5, central square Peristeri, 21.00
While we are waiting the Tsirko Rentikolo group to come on stage for the cultural events of the Peristeri council, we hear the romantic song: "my baby don’t care for me". Childish mouths open and seats are full. In a scenery that looks like an Amelie movie, 6 performers appear. The show takes places behind the frames. Their faces are portrait paintings which every time the painter doesn’t look they escape and start pantomime and acrobatics. A grandpa says to me: "You realise who difficult is what their doing? They fight with audience attention, which is always distracted". The fearless acrobats swing like fairies over the stage. Next to me a child asks: "Mum, are they real people?". I laugh with the grandpa. The imagination enforced the "disruptive".
