Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain
35 mns
A solo with a disastrous twist. Street theater and physical theater come together in a spectacle where the dream of a proud comedian turns into a nightmare as the elements and the audience become involved, taking him up and down in 35 minutes.
Surrounded by dozens of pots, the problems grow when he realizes that gravity always wins, and that, when you least wish it, the water falls.
Water Falls is La Mecànica’s first street theatre show, co-produced with MIME PRAGUE in 2018.
“La Mecànica provoques enthusiasm. (…) Beautiful physical street theater (…). Maybe it was the Happy Hour of the festival this year.”
Rafael Gallego | Diario de Mallorca
“From the Balearic Islands comes La Mecànica with Water Falls in which a surreal duo that challenges each other with crazy juggling strokes with buckets full of water, recalling the delicacy of Charlie Chaplin and the clumsiness of Jerry Lewis.”

“The charming duo master the art of making audiences laugh, transporting audiences back to the silent era with their Charlie Chaplin-esque tricks, but with much more colour! (…) Perhaps the most captivating element of the entire production is the interaction with the audience, such as the sound of children’s laughter that reverberated around Trinity Square yesterday. (…) Water Falls is definitely a sight to see.”
