Paradox and Parodie
Walkabout
Excellent improvisers, Paradox and Parodie impress with their robotic mime and their irresistible antics.
Versatile, they can entertain line-ups, perform on inside or outside stages and practically anywhere on the grounds. Their ability to include the audience’s reactions in the show always succeeds in causing great bursts of laughter.
Family Show
They are all that in this show where we meet: a basketball athlete who dribbles like crazy, a suitcase that seems to have a mind of its own, comical characters in the tradition of Charlie Chaplin and Mr. Bean.
Excellent improvisers, their ability to include the public’s reactions in the show always succeeds in causing great bursts of laughter.
Both characters, in spite of their differences, always end up as friends again.
When Paradox the Robot, with impressive mechanical movements, invites the children to participate in the show, it’s a funny human robot that he reveals to us!
The show ends with a human size Musical Box. Come and meet Casimir, the wooden soldier, and Isadora, the mechanical doll. Music, song, mime and comedy are at this “rendez-vous”.
