FRÁGIL

Falling and getting up. Falling and getting up. Falling and getting up…

And, in the midst of all this, keep dreaming, keep playing and, above all, keep laughing at ourselves. Because, between falls, who doesn’t fall in love?

FRÁGIL is a theatrical production that includes gestual and physical clown theatre combined with new languages in the genre, such as poetry. Its content is suitable for kids and adults all ages. Coming out from the inside of a cardboard box, we’ll begin our wacky —yet jolly— journey through our emotions, our lack of communication and the human absurdity in pursuit of something —or someone— that makes sense of our lives. It’s all about falling down and rising over and over again. However, in the meanwhile we’ll ought to keep playing, keep dreaming, and most importantly, keep laughing at ourselves. After all, it’s easy to fall in love after falling many times.
