Lola and Amal met in 2020 at the Rogelio Rivel Circus School in Barcelona. After several months of exploration, they realized they shared a creative universe and a similar sense of humor. From there, they decided to start working together on the concept of falling and how it can be applied to the way people relate to one another.
In January 2021, they created their first prototype, using acro-dance, absurdity, and physical theatre as their stage language.
They spent just over a year in a creative process, presenting their street-format work in progress at festivals such as La Mercè, Per Amor a l’Hart, Ateneu Popular de Nou Barris, La Central del Circ, and internationally at L’Arbre Bavard and Ces petites choses qui font du bien in France, among others.
The process culminated in the premiere of the full theatre version of their show in September 2024 at the Teatre Dau al Sec in Barcelona, where they were awarded the Dau Second Prize.
Throughout the creation process, they collaborated with Gina Vila and Los Informalls as external artistic mentors and received support from Barcelona Crea 2023 grants, La Central del Circ (Research and Creation Transits 2023), Teatre Nu in Sant Martí de Tous, Casa Orlandai, El Tub d’Assaig, CC Can Clariana, and Lleialtat Santsenca.

FREE FALL FOR PEOPLE WITH VERTIGO

Acrobatic duo of women falling together

The theory of free fall becomes the perfect excuse to slip into the relational universe of the two protagonists.

A range of physical and emotional loops unfolds, guided by their own evident shortcomings, leading them to express love in the most inevitably clumsy and sincere way.

The helplessness of not knowing how to sustain the relationship translates into acrobatic words that intertwine affection and aggression. Bodies communicate through falls, swinging along the fine line between the everyday and the absurd.

Would a parachute save them from free fall? Or would it simply make it longer?
