Ya Te Lo Dijo Tu Madre - Himar Armas & Jorge Santos

Himar Armas and Jorge Santos present Ya Te Lo Dijo Tu Madre, a stand-up and comedy monologue that looks back, with humour and affection, at the advice and warnings mothers have been repeating since childhood.

This is a stand-up and comedy proposal by Himar Armas and Jorge Santos, arriving in Barcelona after performances at various theatres across Spain with other shows in the same vein.

The show runs through phrases that most of the audience will recognise from home, such as the questions about whether you have sat down at all day, or the warnings about what will turn up when you go looking for something. The two performers turn them into comic material with a friendly tone, combining humour with some sharper commentary and a certain tenderness towards the maternal figure.

The approach is emotional as well as comic: throughout the monologue, the idea gradually builds that, in the end, mothers were right, even if they never need to find out. It is a proposal designed for anyone who wants to laugh at shared family experiences.
