Fred
Garbo and Daielma Santos inhabit their enchanting world with tremendous aplomb
and skill. The concert begins when a ten-foot cylinder slithers onto the stage
and implodes. Before long, the
entire audience is playing catch with gigantic inflatable props. The big
blow-up shapes dance, shimmer, balloon, deflate and bounce in a rainbow of
colors. Suddenly, a globulating red cube takes on a life of its own, rolling,
gliding and tumbling in synch to the music, right up to the edge of the stage.
The audience gasps, and the big block teeters dramatically on the brink,
quaking and bulging and changing shape before it amazes the crowd with its
hilarious exit. Now the lovely ballerina dances a can-can, but her skirt
starts to grow longer and longer, becoming first a ball gown, then a balloon
that engulfs her and finally spirits her away.
Audiences are mesmerized by the artistic imagery and creative
foolishness as Garbo and Santos perform fast-paced, energetic, clever, and
universally engaging theatrical pieces.
