TONBOLA (2020)
A brutal satire of Europe
Life is a tonbola and we will turn yours upside down. We don’t care who you are, what you are, or even what you want to be.
Let this TOMBOLA decide on your behalf!
We wanted to talk about Europe. About Europe’s borders and territories. We wanted to talk about freedom, human movements, migrations, empathy, solidarity, etc.
Who would have told us then that doubt could be cast on the truth of those words?
Cést fini la tonterie!
“Coas armas do cabaré –diatriba política, danza erótica, canción disolvente…–a compañía enlaza o grave co lixeiro, a música co panfleto e o serio co caricaturesco. Non trata de subliñar a traxedia, senón de suxerir que a realidade é máis cínica que o animador dunha barraca de feira. O espectáculo transmite una atractiva tensión entre o político e o popular e a irrupción da realidade, coa aparición de verdadeiros inmigrantes cara ao final da obra, constrúe exclusivamente coa súa presenza un incontestable alegado a favor da diversidade.”
Manuel Xestoso (El Faro de Vigo)

A POETIC CABARET that knows no borders. A combination between humour and nonconformity, the absurd and raw realism.
