Scuba car
Family and children acts
Walk Act
Street Theatre

This car can be described as an aquarium on four wheels filled with goldfish and a chap behind the steering wheel who seems a bit.. well, just be on your guard, that’s all.
It’s a remote controlled aquarium, built in an Autobianchi Qattro Posti from 1965 that has been narrowed down to 90 centimeters. A moving interactive installation .. or even better: ‘A street phenomenon, that plays with the audience.’

This lovely Italian car has been customized and equipped with an electro-motor. The chassis carries an odd collection of special effects, which are all remotely controlled: a chattering bonnet, smoke from under the bonnet, JAWS. The man in the aquarium will give you an inscrutable stare… and then suddenly points a water spray at you… and you will discover that he is not averse to honking….

The goldfish that can be seen swimming in the car are an intricate part of its charm. Some people may feel anxious about the well-being of the goldfish. I appreciate their concern, and I like to ensure them that I provide compassionate care to my fish: the water temperature is checked several times a day, the water is filtered every night, the goldfish get enough food and an air pump constantly provides fresh oxygen.

If you happen to visit one of our performances this year, you will be able to establish that our goldfish are not showing any signs of stress or discomfort. If anything, they seem to glide quite happily through the water !
