With 'Xente', The Momento Impro presents a piece of improvisational theatre for public spaces. Passers-by become the main characters in the performance. Drawing on small observations, snippets of conversation and gestures, Dani Blanco, Arturo Cobas and Antón Coucheiro develop their stories right there on the spot.
The piece combines happenings, street theatre and improvisation. The programme notes cite examples such as an argument between two strangers, the story of a couple, or a person talking to themselves. In this way, each scene emerges from whatever is happening in the square at that very moment.
The Momento Impro hails from Galicia. The three artists have been working as clowns for 20 years and in improvisational theatre for more than ten. They were part of the group TheMomento, which has been described as a pioneering group in Galician improvisation since 2011. At the Canarias Improvisa festival, they are presenting two programmes, including 'Xente', a format created specifically for the street.
The performance will take place in the open air at the Plaza de Vilaflor de Chasna. Admission is free.
