REVIEWS
The acrobatics becomes a metaphor for exploring male behavior, while the universal language of clowning allows the cast to heighten the humor and tenderness of the scene.
-Escape Section, Comercio Daily.
With their precise way of acting, their minimalist gestures they recorded with a few distinct strokes the portrait of a family without women, where, in any inability to express one's feelings, in each punch to son and brother lies the intensity of their interpersonal relationships. The Compañía de Teatro Físico perform universal, speechless, physical theatre independent from time & space to rock the viewers gently with their fears.
- Festival ARENA of the young arts. Festival Jury.
In The Gifts, the theater frees itself from voice so the body becomes the great protagonist. Not a single word; lots of movement.
-Punto Seguido Magazine.
They push themselves to communicate events and emotions by relying on a score made up solely of bodily gestures, movements, proxemics, rhythms, pauses, and tensions. A fascinating lesson in life and theater not to be missed.
-Percy Encinas, Comercio Daily.
Los Regalos / The Gifts
A father and his two sons live in a house. The most routine tasks, such as preparing breakfast, bathing, or housework turn into real adventures when tackled by three inexperienced men and their fear of not knowing what are they doing. The journey that the elder brother needs to make in order to leave home, and the fear of saying goodbye to the ones we love, will be the starting point of our story.
