the wandering orchestra THE WANDERING ORCHESTra

An unusual orchestra arrives at the festival in a very special vehicle, full of ancient instruments: a violin, a cello... The musical quintet looks in vain for the place where they have to perform their concert. But nobody knows where they have to play, where they have to go, neither with whom they have to talk to.

WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED? HAVEN’T THEY BEEN PROGRAMMED? OR MAYBE, IS IT THAT THEY ARE IN THE WRONG TOWN?

No matter they use their own vehicle or they go on foot. They are confused. They choose the wrong way, the wrong house, the wrong place. They would like to play their concert, but the circumstances do not allow them to do it. They will never play, but they will always conquer the place to transform it and interact with the people in an unexpected way.

MASTERS OF CHAOS, they create scenes wherever they wander, and laugh and confusion are constant:

• In the streets, where they are lost and ask people where their concert is programmed. • In the , where they are searching for the most special place to surprise the audience. • Before any official ceremony, show or true concert, when the musicians are already on stage and the director is about to make his entrance.

Wherever they are, they never stay more than some minutes, and then, they disappear, to reappear somewhere else, at any other time. the company
