Adagio (based on acrosport), Chinese poles, juggling, boleadoras (percussion instruments), Russian swing, hand to hand, bungees and trapeze are the language the characters of Saltimbanco use to assert their identities.
The cosmopolitan and allegorical characters epitomize the diversity of groups that make up the city. The spectator journeys with them at the heart of an imaginary city brimming with optimism.
The Vers multicolores (or multi-colored worms) are symbols of conventionality. They all look the same in their unadorned costumes. The Vers masqués (or masked worms) are faceless and nameless. They are followers who never question the rules. The Baroques are independent, daring, a touch anarchistic and are true urbanites. They revel in all the city has to offer and live for the moment.
This colorful group of characters, including the Baron, Eddy and the Sleeper, interact with one another under the eye of the Ringmaster who guides the spectator on this whirlwind journey into the heart of the city.
