Fake waiters and close up magic
Nothing is written on the basis of improvisation, everything is played out with the collaboration of the audience. The actors mingle with the waiters. Very discreet during the aperitif, the characters "shift" as the meal progresses in a crescendo. You will meet touching and endearing characters who are obviously quite at home.
At the same time, a magician will pass from table to table, for a close-up performance in collusion with the fake waiters.
