2014Sobre Rodas @ Festival Internacional de Teatro Cómico da Maia
Last night we saw the high-energy comic theatre troupe Sobre Rodas (‘On Wheels’) from Galicia, the opening act for Festival Internacional de Teatro Cómico da Maia tonight. It was 70 minutes of very physical comedy!
Sobre Rodas’ show turned out to be perfect for me because it wasn’t heavy on dialogue. In fact, they didn’t speak Portuguese, or any sort of intelligible language, it was a sort of hybrid pseudo-German with the occasional Spanish word — I heard chorizo! chorizo! — or maybe some Galician.
I took a LOT of photos of their show, but I’m only posting some of my favourite images here. Check out the album for the videoclips of their performance.

What fun! Your description of it being a comedic performance with not a whole lot of words reminds me of watching Cirque du Soleil. At the two shows I’ve been to what’s been uttered sounds like baby talk. But I think that’s the fun/beauty of it. Great photos, as usual.
