It's a show that tells the story of Kinski, a troubled and unemployed actor who finds himself in the situation of having to sell vampire teeth to survive. In a demonstration of the potential of this product through the staging of Nosferatu, Kinski ends up transforming into a rat as a form of protest and plagues the entire city.
When the fear of having to renounce your private and intimate sphere gives way to the need to show off without shame: KINSKI is the name of a character to be released into the public space in a context of itinerancy or Walking Art Performance. The extreme transfiguration of Rui Paixão's body into a Rat fuels the chaos, disorder and unusual absurdity in the space through improvisation and interaction with the spectator caught off guard who watches a set of artistic interventions that mix visual arts, physical theater and the clown.
