Imagine an Organ Grinder and his Monkey...the strains of traditional Barrel Organ music fill the air, creating an atmosphere of festivity. Strangers gather together in shared appreciation of this lively, old-fashioned entertainment. In the midst of this delighted group, the Monkey tips his cap for folding-money tips, and endearingly throws away pennies and nickels... Now, imagine that the Organ Grinder has unceremoniously gone on break, leaving the Monkey tethered to the Organ as it plays on. A sign hangs from the Organ saying, in Italian, "Back in 20 minutes"...what happens then? Before visions of liability claims dance in your head, Polytropic Productions, Inc. has the answer. Eschewing the many variables inherent in hiring an actual monkey for your event...  Vincenzo Tortorici is ...The Monkey Ideal for any International-themed event or street-festival-style venue. The delicate balance between atmospheric visual and interactive performance is up to the audience. The Monkey more or less patiently waits for his master to return; if onlookers choose to play with The Monkey, he will interact with them (staying in character as an indentured simian). If they are content to simply observe this engagingly surreal performance from a distance, the physical virtuosity and commitment of the performer is enough to turn the heads of even the most jaded passers-by. 
Vincenzo Tortorici: He doesn't need a diaper, and he won't bite.
