Show Starts at 7:00pm "Toilet Paper Show" is an original composition by the Brazilian Clown, Capvara (Palhaço Capvara). Starting with the forgotten everyday item, Capvara presents the illusions and intimacy of toilet paper through object manipulation, tricks, juggling and crowd interaction, creating beauty out of the ordinary. Though silly, the performance also provokes reflections about the untapped potentials of what we use and waste every day. Expressing complex emotions and messages through mime and play, Capvara presents a universal story full of hope and fun. |
