Who is Mr. Ping Pong, anyway?
He is the best player of the world…
He is a living legend….
He is venerated, as a pagan God, in China…
Who, from the public, will dare to challenge him?
Mr Ping Pong is a all-out show centered on the expressive strength and the extravagance of the main character, who ghostly appears to pull the leg to the sportive champ stereotype. He brings on the scene a true challenge with vibrant racket hits, non verbal language moves and a series of improvised rhythms to keep alive the attention of the audience.
Thanks to his ability to hook the public, who really becomes the third player in the field, called to play and take part to some acrobatic juggling’s, Mr. Ping Pong is able to transform a sportive challenge in an extraordinary event who will see the great laughter as the actual, unique and real winner of the game!
The show is acted by actor Paolo Piludu, sapiently guided by the hands of internationally appreciated director. Mr. Domenico Lannutti.
