On stage a woman. Clown. Alone. Or maybe not. Rose.

Can a woman provoke, seduce, command, make an audience laugh, educate those in front of her, free herself from entanglements and hindrances, play at being other than herself, also appropriate a masculine energy and in this game continue to have fun while maintaining a punctual attention to the public in front of him? Can a woman simply take off some clothes (laid by who knows who!) And put on others? Becoming a clown to give voice to the hidden desire to be a child, climb, dominate and tame strange animals of her imagination, then bring out all her authentic femininity and blossom, leaving the audience almost dismayed as she performs showing her singing skills and power of the steps of the Flamenco. “Rosa” is this and more, a provocative show that moves on the thin but solid thread of comedy. A simple and surreal scenography and a few props, which become at times accomplices at times enemies of Rosa, objects distorted in their daily ordinariness by the gaze of the clown. The same gaze that transports the viewer of all ages into new worlds, enraptured by the body of a woman who advances, inexorably, performing her bizarre but engaging reckless evolutions.

A series of comic gags, from which the funny and at the same time delicate side of the human being emerges. A show where the rhythm is the carpet over which the wishes of the protagonist flow, imbued with a non-verbal language, a grammelot, which speaks to everyone. Rosa plays with her body at 360°, alternating clownish slips and falls with splashes and screams of voice in various languages, runaway flamenco steps with precarious balances, and then improvisations and poetry, all in the shadow of a giant coat hanger. to which hang the wacky ideas of a woman.

Rosa arrives on tiptoe and then finishes and leaves, leaving a huge void and the desire for the game to never end!
