Mario's Got Talent
Outdoor show
Desperate to make his dream come true, Mario “Superstar” Mario shows up on a talent show. He is confident of winning, since he has been practicing for months in his parents basement numbers inspired by videos seen on the Internet. Will his deep belief in his immense artistic potential be shared by the judges?
Mario has an incredible talent is a clownish solo without words integrating different circus techniques, magic, as well as an essential participation of the spectators. The latter are set up as a jury and their verdict is given by a clap-o-meter. Mario is successively hat manipulator, king of limbo, "live looper-beatboxer-breakdancer" and magician... Between the hilarious failures of the character and the real exploits of the actor, we find moments of great sensitivity and complicity with the public.
