"La casa de los dedos"
A story of hardship, surrender and hope."La Casa de los dedos" travels on an itinerant basis through all the Spanish geography. The three characters bring and show the surprising and extraordinary world of the afterlife, of the ghostly and inexplicable creatures that live among us but belong to the world of the dead. Goddard, Pon Pon and Katia form a sort of dysfunctional family that survives thanks to their need for each other. Tension and unfulfilled desires create insurmountable problems that lead to a murder. Pon Pon and Katia discover that the dead man's soul has returned to the barracks to settle pending accounts. In the end, the three will learn to live in harmony through a pact with the world of souls.
Creative process
This project is born out from the union of four creative souls of different nature, whose trajectories converge in the desire to investigate and develop the figure of the new clown.
The playwright is created during the rehearsals, the story that nurtures from the physical comedy, music hall and circus techniques.
A newly created work that is based on criteria of innovation and experimentation in performing arts, through the search for new languages, based on the interdisciplinarity of the proposal. The authors are committed to create an unprecedented journey for the audience through a musical show, a classical choreography and a pure clown routine.
We have created a universe that remind us of the traditional roots of Spanish culture.The exotic and tradition mixes in a singular aesthetic. It’s an interdisciplinary play that combines the techniques of clown, circus, physical comedy and comic theater, giving rise to an eclectic show that transports us to the atmosphere of the circus at the beginning of the century. A timeless story that place the viewer in an old fair booth . The characters of the story play with the duality: life - death.
