Synopsis:
Arrived is a street theatre play inspired by immigrants who, after arriving in a new place, begin to create a fresh and surprising sense of "home." These characters, arriving from a not-so-distant past, view the present world through unique, often humorous eyes. As they interact with passers-by, they create absurd and surreal situations that provoke laughter and surprise. The music emerging from their suitcases is the only clue to their origins. Engaging the audience as part of the performance, Arrived is a celebration of the joy of returning and a poignant exploration of rebuilding a society based on togetherness.
About the Director:
Adrian Schvarzstein, based in Barcelona, is a multi-national artist with extensive experience across Europe. With a background as a comedian, stage director for classical music and opera, and in circus and street theatre, he specializes in blending various artistic disciplines into unique, surprising productions. His notable work includes creating Circus Klezmer, which toured for 12 years, and directing street theatre shows like The Greenman and Arrived or Sweet Home on Wheels. Recently, he directed Mozart’s operas and collaborated with ART HOUSE17 from Graz on diverse musical projects. His artistic vision is centered on engaging and emotionally moving audiences, using chaos, surprise, and provocative innocence. His productions have been showcased in over 70 countries worldwide.
Directors' Note:
For many years, I’ve seen that theatre needs to reach audiences in unconventional places and tell universal stories that don’t rely on words. That’s why I chose to develop a unique language for street theatre—one that is highly interactive and suitable for all audiences. After nearly 30 years of touring, I can say that we’ve performed in over 70 countries, and there’s one thing that’s common to all people in this world: laughter.
