Have a lesson in conviviality with the tea lady, make friends with Johnny the cocktail shaker or reflect on life with the quirky life artist. Theatre Gajes brings hospitality and conviviality with a raw edge with this highly interactive ongoing performance.
In Parasolo, three portraits of people, driven from loneliness, unfold. They take with them a world of hospitality and sociability, make special encounters, celebrate with the audience or engage in a deep conversation. Friendship, loneliness and life questions in a miniature world: that is Parasolo.
These spectacularly designed parasols provide shelter and coolness. With surprising effects that are deployed depending on the type of weather. The design of the parasols and costumes are adapted to the weather of the day. On warm or hot days, the parasols provide shade and cooling by fans and water sprinklers. On rainy or cold days, spectators find a dry place under the parasols and can warm up. The parasols are equipped with beautiful lighting and can therefore be used both during the day and at night in summer and winter.
