BITS Every time we conceptualize a new show we always go back to our old drawers where, over time, we have buried many ideas we found interesting at one point or another. This is what we will have to do at the end of 2011 when we start working on a new show. We can anticipate three…
GARRICK David Garrick was a famous 18th-century English actor. He was such an extraordinary comedian that doctors would recommend their patients to go and see him in action as a kind of magic remedy capable of curing any grief-related ailment. In moderns terms, we could say that Garrick, albeit unwittingly, was the world’s first laughter-therapist.…
TRICICLE 20 Tricicle celebrates 20 years of existence as a theater company and, for this reason, we want to celebrate it with the ones that made it possible: the public. Tricicle 20 is an interactive show that we have been rehearsing for more than 20 years.The interactivity consists of offering 20 sketches that we have…
SIT The chair is and has always been an indispensable object in the odyssey of humans through time.

The theme easily lends itself to its presentation in the form of a scketch…
COLORAINES Within the campaign “Theater in schools” of “la Caixa”, Tricicle takes to the stage its first show, Coloraines, a children’s play that explains the theory of colors. Gallery
EXIT Exit is our first single theme show. The action takes place in an airport and inside an airplane. More than thirty characters (pilots, tourists, stewardesses, executives, retired people) move constantly through these two spaces played by only three actors. The theme was so cosmopolitan and universal that it was the perfect letter of recommendation…
