Full of comedy and circus skills.
Physical comedy professionals with powerful body work, circus skills and clownish complicity. Two artists who joined their paths in 2017 to form this peculiar duo, from Argentina to the world.
Gato Blanco Gato Negro = White Cat Black Cat
Cats are agile, they jump and turn in the air. It is also said that they scare away evil spirits and negative energies with their presence. Like this duo of clowns and acrobats, sharing their laughter and pirouettes with the audience.
Black and White is a metaphor for contrast: the giant and the little one, with different characters and opposing personalities. And at the same time, in their differences, they complement each other. If you see them, there is humour at first sight.
Show on tour
Two exotic and extravagant clowns, “Chiquito” and “Cuchi Cuchi”, with great differences in their physical and personalities, take advantage of their disparities to empower each other and create hilarious stories and crazy worlds that make sense with their stupid and funny way of behaving.
“Atempo” is a circus-theater show that combines physical comedy, acrobatics, archery and object manipulation. A show with no spoken words, “Gato Blanco Gato Negro” presents a popular comedy for all audiences.
Paula “Cuchi Cuchi” Zapata
She’s an Arian, she lifts up giants as feathers on her shoulders. An escenic art performer student since her entire life. Actress with a framed diploma on the wall, comedian, and clown. Dancer since her teenage years, now as a young woman discovers the acrobatic world in the air, on the ground and upon many human beings. She fell in love with the circus and has sworn an everlasting love to it.
Javier “Chiquito” Casali
His kilometric legs, clownish gestures, and juggling dance makes him an unique specimen in his tribe. After failing the attempt of being an engineer, he decided to slightly change the course of his life and dedicate himself to circus theater. He studied a career in Street Theater and Circus Art Performance and also keeps on studying clowning, juggling, and acrobatics with many Argentinian and foreign professors.
