Two of the performers are professional jugglers, and the "Zig Zag is a very visual and musical show,‘‘ says Mark Gourâ€" deau, general manager of Theatâ€" re D L‘Aubergine. ‘‘There‘s not a lot of talking in this show. It‘s a real clowning act." where between the comedic realm of cartoon and silent film. Picture a threeâ€"ring cirus â€" the clowns in one ring, presenting comic skits with highly exaggerâ€" ated and pronounced gestures. Not to worry â€" the selfâ€"suffiâ€" cient trio puts its vivid imagination to work, and jumps effortlessly into the characters of its own wouldâ€"be clientele. The three characters, played by Lena Vachon, Benoit Auger and Denis Stâ€"Onge, fit someâ€" ZighZag is fun for kids of all ages The plan to set up in a region (the desert) where the market is still undeveloped and ripe for the picking goes awry when the unâ€" likely entrepreneurs realize they have not only left the competition behind, but also their clientelle. A Waterioo Showtime presenâ€" tation, performed in town next week by members of Theatre De L‘Aubergine from Quebec City, Zig Zag is the odyssey of three vagabond ‘‘free spirits‘‘ who light in the desert to open a bistro. That‘s the premise of Zig Zag, a hilarious comedy in tradition circus clown style designed to delight the entire family. You become ydu; own ::Eétom- ers. What else? What do you do when you open a bistro in the middle of the desert and no customers show up? By Deborah Crandall ‘‘The music is a very important part of the performance â€" it compares with the music of silent movies,"‘ Gourdeau says. ‘‘There are many times when the comeâ€" dians are not feeling up to a performance, and the music will perk them up â€" it provides the tempo."‘ Theatre D L‘Aubergine was formed in 1974 by its nowâ€"presiâ€" dent Paul Vachon and his twin sister Lena (who performs in Zig Zag). The reason for the comâ€" performance is enhanced by upâ€" beat music, performed by an onâ€" stage musician. Since _the company was formed, Theatre D L‘Aubergine has performed 30 shows on tour across the country. And all of the company‘s shows have been created (by the company itself) with the intent of appealing to family audiences. pany‘s formation was to offer audiences a chance to see clown art, Gourdeau says. ‘‘The type of clowning we‘re doing is the far opposite to Roâ€" nald McDonald,‘‘ Gourdeau says. "It‘s more of a Latin style of clowning." )@:\; WAAAE d1 Prices So Low They‘ll Floor You! Look What Low Overhaad Can Do For You!
