Ugo's Last Dance is a beautiful musical, based on a canto of Dante's
Inferno, and is the story of three clowns who, under the leadership of
a religious despot, are imprisoned for sedition. It is a play about
survival, about trying to find humanity in the face of oppression, and
the blossoming of love in even the most dire of circumstances. The
production is an extravaganza of music, clowning, foley, fights,
dances, and live musical accompaniment by Moore & Sons, a folk rock
band from Brooklyn. Think vaudeville meets trunk show meets German
Expressionism! Inspiration has come in parts from Commedia styles,
works like La Strada, and Charlie Chaplin.

Theatre MAMA seeks PERFORMERS OF VARIOUS DISCIPLINES: PHYSICAL ACTORS,
CLOWNS, ACROBATS, GYMNASTS, ANIMATORS, JUGGLERS, STILT WALKERS, etc.
for an 8-week Mobile Marketing Tour to visit surrounding towns in the
Tri-State area for 8 weeks to promote a Cirque du Soleil's WINTUK
coming into Manhattan this fall for 3 months. For Mobile Marketing
Tour, we will leave from NY City every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
morning, to then return at the end of each day.
Imagine a pair of stilt-walking minstrels around a city's Downtown
area at 5pm to wave goodnight to all of the commuters and leave them
with a flier announcing the arrival of WINTUK by Cirque du Soleil.
Imagine a delicate mime character sitting in a grassy park with 30
children around…all wearing clown noses AND smiles. Imagine a
tumbler wowing crowds on a busy day in the park!
For the Promotional Characters, we seek performers who see this as an
opportunity to perfect their craft. Candidates must have a love for
"causing a scene" and have a talent for balancing the art of
performing and handing out fliers to the public. Finally, the ideal
candidate must be comfortable promoting outside on our world's largest
stage, and must be excited about WINTUK!
The performers hired must be available for the entire run of the tour.
