Summa Summarum

"Summa Summarum" by Teatret OM: In a southern graveyard two tombstones stand. Under one of them rests the noble baron José Fino Argentino. Under the other lies the street sweeper Spugna. Then one night they both rise from the dead and a terrible amount of trouble begins. It will last all night. "Summa Summarum" is a poetic performance for children, inspired by Commedia dell'Arte.

The baron won’t accept that his nearest neighbour in his very tomb is a mere street sweeper! The white clown guarding the garden of death has to interfere using the magic of music and comedy. The instructor of "Summa Summarum" is Leris Colombaioni. Leris Colombaioni belongs to the Italian family Colombaioni, who has developed circus traditions for 400 years. The play is inspired by a poem by the Italian comedian Toto.
