"EINSTEIN AND THE RELATIVE"
Two characters finish preparing the material with no hurry. They have a good time; they even seem to be playing. Half a wheel as the background curtain, a table and a lot of useless stuff is all they have; enough to perform the show.
An exchange of jokes and ridiculous magic tricks start between them and the public; they love it. It’s the best way to break the ice and to make the public ( up to that moment unknown ) participate and therefore become as if they were members of the family.
The table comes into action, slips, acrobatics, and chained falls, one after the other; all these things make this common utensil adopt a personality of its own. A table in a circus is much more than a table; it’s a whole stage.
The wheel is mounted in a very special way: What was before a background curtain where the performers came in and out, now becomes a huge musical instrument; a sphere in movement with a lot of little percussion instruments hung, moving to and fro gently. A melody comes out of a saxophone and an ideal environment is created to start a really magic performance.
The wheel turns round as everything in real life and for an instant the public becomes absorbed in its hypnotic movements.
The performance comes to an end; it is announced by exciting music and the performers risk their lives in an amazing act. One of the performers holds a 7- meter-high iron bar, the other one performs acrobatics from the highest point of the bar while the spectators look at them in amazement.
