Los Galindos – MDR: DEATH FROM LAUGHTER

Trigger warning – this show contains material that some audience members may find disturbing.

Age recommendation 16+

Rare UK opportunity to get in on the secret act that has been wowing European audiences …

Please note that photography and filming are strictly forbidden and audiences gather in a designated meeting point that is not the show’s location.

Three clowns – Rossinyol, Mardi and Melon – have found themselves in an  unexpected conflict in this story about friendship, an improbable crime, a suspicious trial and an absurd punishment. MDR is a farce to both disturb and entertain by international, award-winning Los Galindos.

“Dark and hilarious outdoor clowning theatre of the highest calibre you are likely to ever see in your life – the title is ‘Death from Laughter’ and it’s a real possibility with this show!”Joe Mackintosh, Artistic Director of Out There Festival, Great Yarmouth.

Los Galindos are a Catalan theatre company formed in 1991.  They have produced 15 shows, developing an esteemed reputation and receiving a number of international awards including The National Prize of Culture in 2016, the Zirkólika Special Jury Award and the 2021 Audience Award at the International Festival of Theatre and Street Art in Valladolid.

They are known for their dark and hilarious outdoor clowning style, and their work, particularly MDR: Death from Laughter, explores themes of friendship, responsibility and absurdity through clowning and physical theatre.
