Description:

With ‘Slapstick’ we bring outdoors a comic short film without screen about a character waiting for a train. Our personal tribute to silent films, with figures such as Charles Chaplin, Buster Keaton or Harold Lloyd as the main source of inspiration.

A dance theatre and clown show where falls and physically extreme situations are enjoyed live and starred by a character that inspires tenderness and humor in equal parts. This show reminds us that behind the gags that can make us laugh as if we were children again, there is a great deal of humanity.

Premiered at Per Amor a l'Hart Festival (Hospitalet de Llobregat, 2019)
