Red Pearl Clown Festival Diana Gadish: Cruuu

A poetic and absurd journey that goes from the sensitive and small to madness and emotional outburst.

Stories that emerge, that unravel and re-form. A clown in constant transformation, showing us maximum innocence and the hidden shadows of a being that could be any of us.

“(…) a very delicate solo with a shy and adorable, eccentric and earthy character. ‘21st century Charlie Rivel in a female version’ (…) With a fantastic dress/coat and a head full of flowers and thoughts, this delicate clown captivates as soon as she enters on stage.”

– Oriol Puig Taulé, Suplement Núvol, Ara.cat newspaper
