Il Palombaro
WALKING COMIC ACT
IL PALOMBARO
with Alessandro Vallin
project and costume Marco Preatoni
The Palombaro (diver) is not only a man in the middle of the ocean surrounded by living creatures. He is much more then that.....he is a puppet for the silent theatre of the fishes, he is a deep acrobat, he is a pneumatic man.
From all of these images Alessando Vallin started to create this surreal character that moves around man as if they were shells, sea stars, corals or seahorses.
The diver is a character out of the world because he moves on the earth surrounded by air instead of moving by the ocean.
That is the reason he produces bubbles, he shoots water, tries to fish with his net strange human beings that move around him, he goes around with a map in his hands to try and find the way back to his natural element, the water.
