Los Galindos, led by Bet Garrell and Marcel Escolano, inaugurated the TNC season yesterday afternoon. His show, assigned to the Sala Tallers, took place in the adjacent gardens, and is "a farce to make you uncomfortable and entertain".
Anicet Leone, Gabriel Agosti and Marcel Escolano are characterized as clowns to denounce the malfunctioning of justice, with MDR (Mort de riure), a street show that has found its space in the TNC proposal.
With surprise after surprise, taking the typical gags and accidents of circus performances to the limit, Los Galindos managed to make the audience die of laughter in their performance yesterday, who applauded standing up and enthusiastically a proposal that leaves no one indifferent.
There is no need to reveal anything else, so as not to spoil a well-rounded show, and it is only worth mentioning that MDR arrives at the TNC with the endorsement of the Critics' Award for the best circus show of 2021.
Its creators refer to the germ of their proposal: "Overwhelmed by a feeling of devastating injustice and a terrifying global imbalance, we want to question the arbitrariness of justice from the clown, as a character on the scene and inhabitant of the circus."
To do this, the plot of MDR is based on "an unlikely crime, a dubious trial and an absurd punishment." A great metaphor to turn upside down the, in his opinion, malfunctioning of justice.
