Appropriate for all ages

We invite you to experience the journey of Salvador, a soft-spoken yet frazzled inventor who creates an apparatus to preserve his most beloved memories and maybe to face the reality of the darker ones. With courage and foolishness, Salvador will walk you through his days of chaos, memories, and wonder. Memorabilia is a clown solo-show using acrobatics, juggling, dance, and theatre to tell a story meant to make you laugh and perhaps cry.

”They are that rare combination of a skilled clown and a powerful circus artist, able to balance these not necessarily opposing skills by vacillating with perfect timing between audience interactions, and acrobatic feats…. Claudio does this with seemingly effortless appeal, striking a magical balance of just enough connection to convey their vulnerability and charisma, and just enough motion (hand balancing, tossing diabolo, acro dancing) to transport the audience to the rich inner world of Salvador.”
- Kimzyn Campbell, the Chicago Reader
