———————————————
It’s a living toy waiting desperately for someone
to play with it, nonchalantly.
It’s pulled along the roadand put down here and there,
for a few minutes or more if friends come by.
Deep down he doesn’t really care. As if by magic, it moves.
Now it’s your turn, it’s a tumble toy waiting for you…
Mr Culbuto is not properly giving a show. He’s pulled along the streets by adelivery man who puts him down every now and again, and let him briefly andunexpectedly play with the audience (3 to 5 minutes). Then, the delivery manputs him back on the chariot and pulled him again…
