From the DK Radio studio, DJ Groucho Marx broadcasts music. Meanwhile, two characters remain stuck in a car, suspended in an endless wait: what are they waiting for? Someone? Or a meaning to life?
At a certain point, everything flips. The off-stage radio breaks the chronology of events and dissolves the boundaries between stage and audience, between reality and fiction.
The waiting turns into a psychedelic and cathartic Funeral Party: the DJ reshapes time by mixing great classics from the past with contemporary electronic music. The space explodes and the audience is invited to dance.
A performance about existential paralysis and escape. Blending Beckett and pop culture, Marxist dialectics, stand-up and ritual dance, it questions the audience: what are we really waiting for, what keeps us stuck, and how can we survive (or dance) within the uncertainty of the present?
IN SHORT
Two characters are stuck in a car, waiting for something that never arrives. When music suddenly erupts from offstage, the audience is invited to join a cathartic collective dance party.
Between grotesque irony and absurdity, a reflection on paralysis and the possibility of rebirth.

Founded in 2001, Tony Clifton Circus presents itself as a luminous sign made of colorful and flashing bulbs, announcing the arrival of something unexpected. The project emerged after a significant encounter with Anthony Jerome Clifton, a semi-unknown Italian-American artist whose aesthetic can be summed up in four words: “life is strange.”
The “circus of anomaly” was founded by Nicola Danesi de Luca and Iacopo Fulgi. It is difficult to define a consistent aesthetic line in their work: what they aim to stage is strangeness and discomfort. They enjoy making people laugh, but even more so making laughter catch in the audience’s throat. Their goal is not to please, but to provoke. Their performances are extreme comedic experiences, blending unrestrained absurdity with poetic elegance.
