MDR – Death from laughter

Los Galindos (ES)
An improbable and eccentric circus show for a young and adult audience

The three clowns Rossinyol, Mardi and Melon face an unexpected twist: a member of the audience has died of laughter during their previous show. In an act of responsibility, they will try to stop the propagation of a deadly virus, laughter! 

Who will be on their side? Will justice? Will they find a solution? Or will they be punished?  

They need you to transmit optimism while awakening a critical spirit.  

You will be only at risk to die from laughter…  

MDR – Death from Laughter is a clown show that questions the arbitrariness of justice through humour and the experience of the clown: Their wild and clumsy nature, and their existential need to exist take them through an improbable and eccentric show, where laughter, having fun and fantasy are motor.  

INFO

DURATION: 60 min
AGE: From 12 years 

LANGUAGE: ENGLISH 

(MDR stands for Mort de riure – Catalan for Death from laughter)
