Would you like to know more about Playground?
Playground is a comical and absurd production that rises 8 metres high, combining Chinese pole, dance, theatre, acrobatics and humour. A tragicomedy full of surprises and unexpected twists and turns. This is Miguel Rubio’s challenge: his set design comes to life thanks to those who decide to support it. Eight chairs form part of the structure, and the audience who occupy them become a fundamental pillar. Without them, the show would not hold together.
As he tries to balance on the Chinese pole, Miguel Rubio faces unpredictable situations. To overcome them, he needs the physical and emotional help of the audience, who become essential accomplices in the show. Playground is a warm and characterful solo show based on a collaborative anchoring system. Here, the connection between the artist and the audience is key: without their support, the magic does not work.
