It has always been a dream of mine to create a guerilla art piece. One in which something unexpected happened and took the audience by surprise. The night of March 21st, this dream came true. As usual, communication was too slow for our improv troupe to actually be in the festival so the woman in charge had the idea of having us come out of the audience - unexpectedly - after the movie, The Lorax, ended.
There we were, watching the movie with everyone else one moment... the next moment, hurriedly warming up, trying to get our energies together for the crazy exit we were about to make.
We dispersed ourselves in the crowd and as the credits came up I held up my arm and counted to three. When my third finger went up we all yelled in unison - "Perro de la Calle!!!!" and ran down in front of the movie screen.
The audience didn't know what to think. They just sat there in shock.
We proceeded to explain ourselves in gibberish, another member of the group translating into Spanish what we were about to do.
After the first game, some people got up and left but the majority stayed. It was our biggest show ever (haha it was only the second) and we were now exposed to the community of Quepos.
They now know who we are - Perro de la Calle!!!!
What a neat story...!
ReplyDeleteThe audience must have been amazed...
