street performances
Street performances of the Š.E.M. company are bizarre interactive street puppet productions for the general public, which can be an off program at your event. They are inspired by traditional wanderers, comedians, puppeteers, specific absurd humor, and interaction with event attendees.
Our street performances are based on 30 to 45-minute acts. Performances can be customized according to requirements if the requests are communicated in time. Individual characters from the performances can be combined or performances can be linked. Short entertaining show segments are part of the performances.
Basic scheme of the performance acts: 10 min. interaction with event attendees - 10 min. show - 10 min. interaction - 10 min. show - 5 min. interaction
LA FAMILY
LA FAMÍLIA is a remarkable, interactive family of traveling puppeteers. It consists of four members: Rita (mother), Ernesto (father), Nadia (daughter), Ferdinando (uncle).
*The number of family members will soon increase.
concept
La Família is a family of eccentric traveling entertainers. They offer unconventional street entertainment for the general public. Their function lies in providing accompanying programs for various events and festivals. They work with absurd humor, illusion, mysticism, and combine both traditional and contemporary puppetry techniques. The production is suitable for both children and adult audiences.
The family operates based on acts. During their performance, individual members of La Família move among the audience, creating an interactive program – improvisation with people, taking photos with people, fortune-telling, entertaining people, and more.
Each act consists of three to four short performances (intro, presentation choreography, main show, or a short story about a little silver ball). The performances follow a pattern: interaction with people, performance, interaction with people, performance, interaction with people, and performance.
**The duration of the act and the number of performances is flexible and depends on the agreement with the organizer.

MORCADELLA
Street tame show where nothing is as it should be. MorkaDella is a specially bred species of bird that our uncle Ferdinando from La Família found in the desert wilderness of the Gobi. Her genetics have been influenced by such bird legends as the blackbird, pigeon, ostrich, duck, goose, chicken, partridge, emu, pheasant, grouse, flamingo, dodo bird, swan, tit, and certainly others.
MorkaDella has a special ability. During the day, the sun and people give her such energy that at night, when it's dark, MorkaDella shine happiness. Literally shine.
