Sinopse:

Between laughter and Slaughter: an interactive journey of the solitary clown María Eugenia**

​

María Eugenia shows her daily life and, with her imagination, creates a world full of dreams in which the audience actively participates in the story. But as the war draws closer, she must face reality and balance between fantasy and survival. Together with the audience, she finds new ways to resist—in a piece full of humor, emotion, and reflection.

 

Process:

"This is a creative process that began at the onset of the pandemic in 2020 with the assistance of Cesar Gouvea, and is now continuing under the direction of Ibon Goitia. It's a performance that has undergone many changes over time, but in recent meetings has taken a more concrete direction. This is largely due to the journey of Luciana Arcuri and her clown character, Maria Eugenia, who work in hospitals, nursing homes, and refugee camps, as well as in extreme locations such as Lesbos in Greece and Africa.

Luciana Arcuri's experiences inspired the theme of the show, which revolves around this clown who has traveled the world witnessing wars and injustices. Nevertheless, despite facing such adversities, she firmly believes in the transformative power of her art, providing people with smiles, relief, and even comfort."
