Structured around the five basic needs of a child – Place, Love, Support, Protection and Limitation – the show “Cinco Coisas” proposes to lead the public to a purely human experience through various creative artistic elements. The show involves storytelling, dance, play, clowning and improvisation.
“Cinco Coisas” is a solo show, based a body psychiatrist called Pesso, co-creator of Pesso Boyden System Psychomotor therapy, which focuses on the five types of interactions that need to happen between the child and their caregivers. It is a playful, poignant and inspiring show where two opposing viewpoints, but also complementary – positive and negative, met and lost, abundance and absence – are presented by a single actress (myself), who covers the polarities through the staging of two clowns and a narrator.
The aim of the show is to highlight the human vulnerability of the spectator existent since childhood, but doing so in a playful and entertaining way, as is characteristic of the clown.
