THE SEVENTH DAY
Feast of the Street for families and neighbours
And finally – the seventh day (June 29), the day of the Street’s Birthday, integration, family meeting, a neighbourhood gathering, a friendly feast full of music, dance, theatre, co-created by many hosts of the Sts. Peter and Paul Square. The day of return to what the common issues. The day of return to the idea of the first edition of the festival: The Busker Internationale.

Performances by Clown Rufi Rafi are balancing between circus and theatre, and they work well both on stage and outdoors. They are family-friendly – they are suitable for all ages, because everyone, regardless of their age, likes – and needs – to laugh! Some of the performances, performed in the streets, are much improvised, while others have a more fixed, almost theatrical form.
The clown, pulling all his belongings on his cart (made from a baby playpen), stops to sell his junk. To sell junk or to entertain the crowd? A crude clown-trader initiates direct contact with participants of the event, entertains and emotionally touches both kids and adults. He offers taxi services, then he ventilates with his hand-held air conditioning, and the other time he wants to become a cuddly toy. As it used to happen at the fairs, an unexpected presentation of comical situations, slapstick gags and maybe even touching moments emerge from his funny stall.
performer: Klaun Rufi Rafi
duration: approx. 45 minutes
