Carillo

La Tal (Spain)

Clocks have inner life?

Ding…dong… The clock strikes the hour and the gears start turning. Tick…tock…tick…tock… It’s time… Unexpectedly the clock bursts into life and its characters fill the stage with their stories of knights, clowns, battles and passions. The magic of the giant clock enchants everyone around it..

In each storie created by the company, the characters look like Swiss clockmakers appearing from the clock, dancing and revisiting the clown universe of the play.

Topics as passion, love, jealousy…What will win? The machine-like movement executed by the actors makes the characters seem timeless. The set has a visual richness by the structure of the “Carillo”. You will be fascinated by its size, the colours and the complex functioning of the clock.
