Playground: A comic show that relies on the audience to stay afloat

Playground by Miguel Rubio is an emotionally charged, warm solo acrobatic performance featuring a Chinese pole. In order to succeed, Miguel relies on the physical and emotional support of the audience, who become an integral part of the show. The performance requires active participation, with the spectators physically helping to hold up the set, which includes a towering 8-meter-high Chinese pole. The connection between the audience and the artist is crucial, as the entire structure would not stand without their involvement.

Playground is a comic and absurd spectacle that rises to over 8 meters in height, combining elements of Chinese pole, dance, theater, and humor to create an unpredictable and hilarious tragicomedy. Surprises are woven throughout, as the show unfolds with a series of unforeseen events.

This is the challenge Miguel Rubio embraces. His performance depends entirely on the spectators, who support it not only with their gaze but also through their physical presence, seated on 8 chairs that are part of the set. Those who take on this role will feel firsthand how much the success of the show relies on them to keep the 8-meter-high structure intact throughout the performance.
