SYROVY- now retired
Artizani’s classic street act – it toured all over the world.
In constant demand for nearly twenty years, Syrovy circled the globe from Singapore to Barbados and did every kind of event, from the National Theatre to village fetes. The show was visually impressive and took the traditional street act to another level.
Syrovy entered the space, and everyday objects conspired against him: newspapers became sails, there was a waterfall of cutlery, he danced with chairs, and clothes confounded him.
Eventually, he ascended into sanity and found balance on a wobbling, bouncing rope. Led by an eclectic soundtrack, Syrovy traveled through a succession of homages to his fantasy icons.
The show was inspired by the comic routines of Buster Keaton, Harpo Marx, Gene Kelly, and Neil Armstrong and was 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.”
