Artizani

Syrovy enters the space and everyday objects conspire against him: newspapers become sails, there is a waterfall of cutlery, he dances with chairs and clothes confound him.

Led by an eclectic soundtrack Syrovy travels through a succession of homages to his fantasy icons.

The show is inspired by the comic routines of Buster Keaton, Harpo Marx, Gene Kelly and Neil Armstrong and is both spectacular, and meticulously detailed.
“..a beautifully constructed and executed solo show by James Macpherson that combines silent-movie clowning, acrobatics and slackrope walking to explore one man’s ambivalent relationship with everyday objects.”

"One sometimes doubts that Britain's got talent, but Parris has it in spades" - Guardian
