FAIL IN LOVE WITH ME
TiTo fell onto the stage in 2009 with the premier of his debut show: Falling Towards The Sky. In this latest adventure, TiTO explores his romantic world. TiTO is recognised for his honesty and humanity that generates a complicty with both young and old audiences. Fail In Love With Me has already inspired laughter, play and charm in International Theatre and Circus Festivals, Primary and High Schools, Community events and public spaces in Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
SINOPSIS TiTo longs to fall in love, but he struggles. Gathering all the information about love that he has acquired during school, in books, in movies and in his personal encounters, TiTO dives head first into an exploration to discover and understand love. Travelling to and fro between clown, dance, circus and puppetry, TiTO invites us on a journey that moves through attraction and selection, rejection and loneliness, rage and silence, and finally into struggle and balance. The show is a celebration of love that not only questions, but invites the audience to participate in a world where everyone has the right to love and be loved without discrimination.
