Piti Peta Hofen Show

extreme juggling poetry
Split Predgrađe train station (Kopilica)
Cie LPM (France)

Three countries, three jugglers, three objects. 45 minutes filled with humour, craziness and secret techniques never seen before by a human audience. The three characters live in an absurd universe, with contradictory logic where stupidity reigns and juggling is the mother tongue. The show is a mix of three completely different personal styles, shown through theatre, improvisation and the obsession with objects. This show is adaptable to any place and thinkable circumstance such as rain, gale or erupting volcanoes.

“Piti Peta Hofen Show” was created in 2017, as a product of a visceral need of the three artists after their graduation at the “Centre des Arts du Cirque de Toulouse – Le Lido”. The creation was self-produced by the Cie. LPM and had its premiere at the Festival Circumnavigando (IT). Since then it has gained great acceptance by various audiences, both young and old, families or loners, animals or religious people, and above all unemployed artists. The performance is based on extreme poetry. A style of dramaturgy where the notion of improvisation and acting are mixed in a dimension of creative chaos.

The performance of “Piti Peta Hofen Show” in Split is realized with the financial support of Teatroskop (part of the “Circus (must) SEE” program), Kultura nova Foundation, the Ministry of Culture and the media of the Republic of Croatia and the City of Split.
