GODSPELL El Musical GIRA

A Tony-nominated musical theater classic from the 1970s now transported to 2024.

The scene opens in a place that could as well be a theater warehouse as a ramshackle neighborhood barnyard. In it we discover our characters, a young theater company, performing a play for the audience. Everything is apparently normal, but both the play and the context in which it takes place will show us that it is not.

Through each of the characters and their respective encounters with Jesus, we will revisit the Gospels of the New Testament, thus initiating a personal journey of no return.

Tolerance and respect for those who are different, the need to build and weave community support networks, compassion for any human being, sustainable and shared wealth, the freedom to be and choose, co-responsibility in the construction of a good life for all, the right to make mistakes and start over, to grieve with the suffering of others, to live whole, laugh, love, sing, play…to live, until we die.

And, at the end of the journey, when we feel that everything is over, that darkness floods everything, Godspell reminds us that there is hope, that everything starts again, that out there, there is a new passion.

Godspell – The Musical

A production by ANTONIO BANDERAS and EMILIO ARAGÓN, Teatro del Soho CaixaBank and Estudio Caribe.

Synopsis

The scene starts in a place that could as well be a theater warehouse, as a rickety corrala of neighbors. In it we discover our characters, a young theater company, performing a play for the audience. Everything is apparently normal, but both the play and the context in which it takes place will show us that it is not.

Through each of the characters and their respective encounters with Jesus, we will revisit the Gospels of the New Testament, thus initiating a personal journey of no return.

Tolerance and respect for those who are different, the need to build and weave community support networks, compassion for any human being, sustainable and shared wealth, the freedom to be and choose, co-responsibility in the construction of a good life for all, the right to make mistakes and start over, to grieve with the suffering of others, to live whole, laugh, love, sing, play…to live, until we die.

And, at the end of the journey, when we feel that everything is over, that darkness floods everything, Godspell reminds us that there is hope, that everything starts again, that out there, there is a new passion.

Había una vez, mi familia

A theatrical and musical show that not only pays tribute to Fofito, his father and uncles, Los Payasos de la Tele, but also pays tribute to the Clown genre and to 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, Fofito materializes in flesh and blood next to her. Fofito and his troupe of crazy clowns will accompany Eva on a journey through a world of memories and dreams, in a theatrical and musical show that not only pays tribute to Fofito and his uncles, Los Payasos de la Tele, but also pays tribute to the Clown genre and to an era that marked the childhood of a generation of children who grew up in the 70s and 80s.

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.

Aire

Through music, percussion and sound effects, we will be discovering, in a humorous style, the story of four characters who communicate through music and sounds using more than 150 elements, including toy instruments and objects, which they will use during the performance. It is a show for all ages that uses music as a universal language. With careful and contemporary aesthetics, Aire makes music and rhythm its vital proposal.

A new concept

BOVOJ, herd in Esperanto, are five artists who have been together for three decades. They started from a very young age toying around with music, learning the comedy techniques of the art of their elders and receiving the best of that heritage. Always together, growing and learning like a herd, they now decide to take a step further, towards the search for new territories and new languages through which they evolve. From this evolution Aire is born, a risky and brave set-up.

Snow White Ballet

Classical tradition of ballet based on the popular tale of the Grimm brothers and inspired by our most international dancer, Tamara Rojo.
“…dedicated to Tamara, who dances in my dreams…”

Barnum

Emilio Aragón is the executive producer, protagonist and Spanish lyricist of the songs from this great musical staging. It is a Spanish adaptation of the musical Barnum written by Mark Bramble, with lyrics by Michael Stewart and music by Cy Coleman. It premiered in Madrid in September 1984.
