A performance with attractive theme
„The Garbage Can“ is based on the interaction between V. Kulisek and the audience. The viewers watch the nonverbal slapstick on the stage and are drawn into the action without hardly realizing it. In this program Vladimir Kulisek plays a comic in a poetic series of situations from something essentially tragic - an ordinary day in the life of a homeless man who lives in an old garbage can. He shows you how to use ordinary things unusually, how to change an ordinary garbage can into a spaceship, a car, or a ship. Without a single word he can uncover with humor the inner world and the feelings of a man who is socially condemned to live on the fringes of society. He does not avoid the negative phenomenons that accompany the situation (alcoholism, etc.). Kulisek and Michalko brew up spontaneous improvisations and surprising situations. The mime and the musician have to react with great creativity to the sudden stimuli and ideas of the audience. More then 2000 repeat performances testifies that the performance is a success and that communication with the audience improves with every show.
This performance is a unique experience in an age when viewers usually only passively watch a television screen from their armchairs. Because of this, it is often assessed to be one of each year's best school performances.
