The clown seeks out and almost always finds the cracks in reason and in his fellow beings. The wise man trembles when he laughs. Because the matter of laughter, the life of Man, is often made of sadness, as Baudelaire pointed out.
After Rhum and Rhümia, the company Rhum & Cía, headed by Jordi Martínez and Pepino Pascual, now presents Rhumans, a clown-like delicatessen that offers us all the splendour of the clown arts, in all their different genres and styles: clowning, ventriloquism, lute-playing, street performance, surrealism and music.
This trilogy began at Grec in 2014 and concluded at the event’s last edition, having presented some of the most entertaining and therapeutic shows seen on the Catalan stage in recent years.
Jordi Aspa directs this extremely amusing production, which concludes the trilogy and shares large doses of humour, hooliganism, tenderness and emotion with the previous shows.
When clowns are capable of calculating with letters and dressing facts with bareness, freedom is their prison. This show invites us on a journey to reflect on the figure of the clown through a musical collage made up of various self-made numbers and the odd classic number, all perfectly seasoned with acid, sweet and spicy humour, with a view to flexing the muscles of laughter.
