Circus, clowning and physical theatre by Los Galindos for audiences aged 12+. The performance is in English.
MDR is a farce to disturb and entertain.
Melon, Mardi and Rossinyol face an unexpected conflict. Their untamed and clumsy nature and the need to exist take them to an improbable show, where they freely explore any atrocity. This hilarious and terrifying experience transmits the story of a truthful and rough friendship, caused by a sense of responsibility and of guilt.
An improbable crime, a suspicious trial and an absurd punishment.
As a paradox, they might cause the desire to die from laughter.

A bit about the career of Los Galindos
Los Galindos was created in 1991. The project emerged from a synergy between continuous research and young energy in collective creation. Inspired by the poetry and the fantastic imaginary of the circus, we have developed an artistic project with our own signature.
We have been involved in educational and outreach projects and have developed our activity internationally, with 15 shows created by the company.
We have received several awards, among which we highlight the National Prize of Culture 2016 for our career. For MDR, we have received the following awards: Talía Award 2023 for Best Circus Show, Ciutat de Barcelona Award 2022 for Performing Arts, Teatre Barcelona Award 2022 for Best Circus Show, Critics Award 2021 for Best Circus Show, Zirkòlika Award – Special Jury Prize 2021, and the Audience Award at TAC de Valladolid 2021.
With MDR, we return to the street format with a risky and committed circus show.
