In today’s sparse provincial barbershops, one still finds rectangular mirrors clouded by the passage of time, old creaking chairs, rusty tools, the smell of hair pomade and impatient customers silently waiting for their turn. But just half a century ago, the barbershop was the favourite meeting place for gentlemen. A discreet spot where they could freely discuss their business affairs and ideas. And there was music, there was coffee, and there were the zany anecdotes of the trusted barber. The barber’s shop was, in short, the nerve centre of the village.
The central idea of the show is to recreate the atmosphere of those not-too-distant times when the barber sang, played music, served drinks, offered advice… in a word, entertained his guests. And, of course, he cut beards and hair. In the play, the stage is nothing other than the barbershop itself, brought to life by the three aspiring barbers, whilst the auditorium serves as a large waiting room. The audience, seated all around, defines the spatial boundaries and ultimately becomes an integral part of the room itself – that is, of the show.
