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.
With their duo show ‘Atempo’, they have performed more than 400 shows, 80 festivals, 17 countries and 4 awards: traces of a journey built collectively, which today opens up to new scenic universes with solo proposals such as ‘Juez Casarozzi’.
A company that continues to grow and create, guided by the pulse of the clown and the poetics of the body and laughter.

show
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 clowning, physical comedy, acrobatics and archery. A show with almost no spoken words, “Gato Blanco Gato Negro” presents a popular comedy for all audiences.
show
Physical comedy show featuring an eccentric, tall referee who transforms every match into a performance of comic precision, unusual tricks, absurd dances and interactive challenges for the audience.
Without using words, applying techniques from mime, clowning, physical theatre and improvisation, “Juez Casarozzi” dismantles the solemnity of the football referee to create an amusing show suitable for all audiences, where ridicule and ability coexist.

bio
Paula Zapata
Since adolescence, her curiosity about the performing arts has driven her to explore dance, musical comedy, and theatre. Over time, she discovered the world of acrobatics—in the air, on the ground, and on other bodies—and there she found her great love: the circus, to which she promised eternal fidelity. A graduate of the Provincial School of Dramatic Theatre and the Municipal Circus School of Rosario, Argentina. An actress with a diploma on the wall, a comedian and clown by choice and destiny.
bio
Javier “Chiquito” Casali
His kilometre-long legs, his buffoonish gestures and his incredible ability to make a fool of himself make this specimen unique in his tribe. After giving up his engineering studies, he decided to change course slightly and devote himself to the circus and theatre. He trained in Street Theatre and Circus Arts Performance in Rosario, Argentina, and complemented his training with national and international teachers in clowning, acrobatics and physical comedy.
