Non Verbal Show
Mr. Brush
The crazy garbageman
Winner Clown Factor 2021

Mr. Brush is a show created to entertain through the craziness of the clown and the lightness of being of the modern mimes, who use voice, sounds and music to play with their audience.
The protagonist, a garbageman, will play and improvise on and off the stage, or on the street as well, if the show will take place outdoor.
Mr. Brush will describe his childhood dreams, and to do it he'll use the equipment he uses for his everyday job, brooms, brushes, trash cans, as well as music and sound effects to allow us to enter in his magical world in which he becomes a famous cowboy, an interstellar space voyager and a bungling chef!
But to live all these adventures I'll often need the help of his audience, both the one seated in the theatres and the one he meets on the street, because, actually, the best part of dreams is sharing them...


Additional Informations:


Mr. Brush speaks a “nonsense” language that together with the use of the art of mime makes the performance understandable anywhere in the world.
The show can be performed in theaters and outdoor (streets, squares).
The voice-over can be in French, Spanish and Italian too.
This show is “tout public”, suitable for both adults and children, from 5 years old and up.
The show begins during the entrance of the audience in the theatre or during the arrival of the public in the place of the performance: they'll find Mr. Brush welcoming them. The duration of this first part of the show can be established with the organizers.
Duration of the show 45 minutes.
