Volunteers from the audience will act for the shooting of a silent movie from the 20’s era, without any preparation, thanks to the inputs of a director/performer.
No need to take acting lessons to become a star in front of your friends, colleagues, or family: just be yourself!
Silent Movie is a unique show in Hong Kong & Macau. It gives volunteers from the audience an opportunity to act on stage without any rehearsal or script learning.
Zani, a professional improviser, will make the most of volunteers’ participation on stage.
The show follows a basic storyline: all the participants are on stage to shoot a movie about love, passion, and …shooting!
A few props, the sense of timing and improvisation of the director, the spontaneity of the participants will make this show hilarious to watch for the audience.
This is a unique experience of entertainment for staff parties, Weddings, Big Birthday parties…
Silent Movie is based exclusively on audience participation, and therefore it is a unique entertainment experience in Hong Kong!
At the beginning of the show, 4 volunteers are picked up in the audience. They become the cast for the scene representing the shooting of a silent cinema movie from the ’20s.
The “director” describes their role to the “actors” and gives them some props and pieces of costumes to enter into their character.
The comedy element is created by the opportunities for improvisation and impromptu reactions from the “director” and the actors. Each show is different!
He organizes his “cast” to combine contrasting personalities. And makes sure that the show always stays a pleasant moment for the volunteers, even if there is comedy.
All volunteers will be rewarded for their contribution to the show by a generous round of applause from the audience before they leave the stage.
The theme and the costumes of the movie can be adapted to the theme of the event and include props or brand names that are significant for your guests.
This very funny show will bring great laughter to staff parties, gala dinners, corporate functions, and private parties.
Silent Movie is the latest solo show creation of Zani Productions.
The storyline is of course based on a classic love triangle story, with two guys trying to get one girl and showing their most outrageous seduction power to win her.
This passionate action is recorded live by a volunteer technician with a vintage camera. Everything ends up with big laughter!
The audience tends to quickly forget that the four “actors” are regular guests, without any preparation or briefing. This only happens because the participants feel comfortable and relaxed, thanks to the interactive direction of the performer.
Many years of performance help Zani to pick up the best person for the role in an instant. (Well, most of the time!…)
