“Um Tempo” is the name of the show that Pedro Tochas takes to the Cine-Teatro Louletano, in Loulé, next Saturday, May 9th, at 21 pm.
«Our life is nothing more than a Time of existence in this world. A Time full of small adventures, accidents, messes, achievements, failures, loves and hates», considers the production, adding: «we join Pedro Tochas and share his vision of this crazy and at the same time dazzling world, because there is no there's nothing better than spending A Time laughing at ourselves and our surroundings. This show is a good opportunity to laugh and forget the less good moments in life… … at least for a while!”
Christmas is often the time when the art of the circus stands out the most, but taking advantage of this time to test manual and imaginative skills would only remind the then Chemical Engineering student Pedro Tochas. As Christmas “is whenever men want”, Pedro Tochas became a street artist, the magic place of every day, for everyone.
Street work never stopped, but he missed another type of training. He traveled to the United States and studied juggling and physical comedy at celebration barn theater.
To further his studies, he went to England, joined the Circomedia-Academy of Circus Arts and Physical Theater where he studied physical theater.
At the end of the course, he was invited to return for a year of specialization. He returned the following year, but this time with a grant from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, which helped him support the cost of living in England.
He returned to Portugal, now with another training and willing to once again test everything he had learned on the street. He worked from north to south and took shows abroad.
He presented several solo shows in the field of physical theater until he decided to take a risk in Stand-Up Comedy, for which he had gained a taste in England.
The street was his first love affair, but his passion for the show leads the actor to look for other spaces in which to grow.
Among the various awards he has received, we highlight first place at the “Adelaide International Buskers Festival” (Australia).
Tickets for this show in Loulé cost 12 euros.
