A geometric and acrobatic vision
20 February 2019
A spectator goes to buy a ticket, looking for money in a multi-pocket wallet. Keaton himself directs an orchestra of himself, reprising "L'homme orchestre" of Meliès. The name of Buster Keaton is on every role of the list. Also the different actors of the theatrical performance are always him. While he has to dress a monkey, he escapes and he disguises himself as a monkey, going on stage. Later, Keaton always goes to free an acrobat enclosed in a container of water with a cup. After, he breaks the container and the water falls on the public. To escape the artistic director, he swims in the orchestral hole as if he were at sea, rowing with his instruments. In the Keaton cinema there are the chase and slapstick mechanisms, renewed in a geometric and acrobatic vision of a reality that is upset.
