2 Technical conditions Mr Culbuto is not properly giving a show. He's pulled along the streets by a delivery man who puts him down every now and again, and let him briefly and unexpectedly play with the audience (3 to 5 minutes). Then, the delivery man puts him back on the chariot and pulled him again... Putting Mr Culbuto on and off his chariot is very quick (2 seconds). Being in contact with the audience (exchanging looks and movements) is compulsory, as this show is interactive. Length : 1h30 of show per day, flexible (2 x 45 mn, 3 x 30 mn...). Each performance consists into two parts : a mobile part when Mr Culbuto is pulled along by the delivery man ; a fixed show when Mr Culbuto is acting on the ground. He is taken off to the ground five or six times during each show. Place : The show must take place in an area without too sloping roads, allowing Mr Culbuto to be pulled along with his chariot. The areas where he will be put down must be 4 x 4 m at least and as flat, hard and regular as possible : cement, concrete, paving stones... The show cannot take place on grass, sand, beates earth or any unflatered areas.
