The Show “Shock ‘Em All” :
The show is born from the friendship and meeting of two amazing and outgoing identities.
The show began to take shape in 2008 during a trip to Hungary, where a great collaboration started between the two artists. In this cold winter, around in the streets of Budapest, the two artists began to perform a high-energy show: a combination of circus skills accompanied by the rhythms of a drum kit.
A critical point in the history of the show was the meeting of Fabrizio the Gorilla on New Year’s Eve 2008. The gorilla Fabrizio immediately took the role of the thinking mind and -Deus-ex-machina- of the show …
The artistic meeting between the two actors resulted in a fusion of their techniques: a frantic, incredible musical and rhythmical research on the one hand; an extroverted, physical, bizarre juggling style on the other.
All this has resulted in the creation of a show endowed with an incredible energy and unpredictable delirium, with a great deal of involvement from the audience.
From the moment of it’s creation, this ever evolving show has encountered huge success, being programmed in all the most important festivals of Circus and Street Art, in more than 22 countries of the World.
“VIBRELLA SOUND” Pedaling Sound System
Vibrella Sound is an idea born on the worst streets of the best European festivals.
The acclaimed international performers of “La Sbrindola”, transform their rickshaw into an itinerant sound system.
While selecting fine tunes for refined ears, emitting the lowest of bass frequencies, these Master of Ceremonies will get the dancefloor going!
Where?
…Anywhere!
Their pedaling DJ performance is an exaggeration of explosive energy, propelled exclusively by human beings!
Bass Music, Glitch, D’n’b, Funk, R’n’R and who knows what else!
Only big tunes and juicy remixes accompany the audience during impromptu and unpredictable parades as they light up the dancefloor.
The roof of the rickshaw is a stage for performers, guests, and even members of the audience.
Watch out! Stage diving is a must!
