Circus

Había una vez, mi familia

A theatrical and musical show for the whole family where not only pays tribute to Los Payasos de la Tele ,parents and their uncles, but also pays tribute to the genre of Clown and an era that marked the childhood of a generation of children who grew up in the 70s and 80s.

Grandma Eva is going to celebrate her birthday with her grandchildren, until a weather warning prevents them from coming. She is about to put everything prepared in her attic when, suddenly, a box comes to life and all the memories of her childhood appear: a small carousel, a music box, her toys, a Cinexin, an old television set where she used to watch her favorite programs. Suddenly the TV set turns on and the TV Clowns show appears. To the question “How are you?”, Eva, our grandmother, answers what we all have in our heads. The attic begins to transform until, in a magical space. Tv clowns and his troupe of crazy clowns will accompany Eva on a journey through a world of memories and dreams.

In the show we will go through all the subgenres and techniques characteristic of the world of clowning, such as gestural, textual, parody, circus and technique, and in all its formats, such as the complete classical entrance, musical numbers, textual humor, visual poetics, symbolism or magic. The great creators of the genre will be vindicated in Once Upon a Time: My Family.

Miliki´s dream

MILIKI’S DREAM

“Circlassica, El Sueño de Miliki” is Emilio Aragón’s most intimate and personal project.

A wonderful journey into nostalgia and illusion that offers us the opportunity to rediscover the child in all of us. A great circus show for all audiences, full of music, light, colour and fantasy, with the best international artists and a unique production.

SYNOPSIS

Miliki is a 7 year old boy who dreams of becoming a clown. His wish is to make people laugh, compose songs, and be able to travel the world singing them in his wonderful circus. One night, he writes his wish in the Book of All Travels and then falls asleep.

The power of his desire is so strong that his world is filled with light, sound and colour; acrobats, jugglers, musicians and trapeze artists transcend his universe. But among all of them, two outlandish and half-witted characters stand out.

Don Pepito and Don José wake Miliki up and invite him on a once-in-a-lifetime journey of discovery. They will teach him the art of comedy and guide him so that he can make his dreams come true and achieve his long-awaited clown nose.

But every road has its potholes and pitfalls. Astrakhan, the prince of anti-comedy, will try to divert little Miliki from the wonderful path traced by his teachers.
