Julieta. Chula The Clown

A one-person physical theatre and clown piece by Mexican artist Chula The Clown, which, without words, reflects with humour on the passing of time and the changes of old age through Julieta.

Without resorting to words, the show follows Julieta, a woman with a life full of experiences and very personal traits, through her daily routines. Her flat gradually accumulates memories and transformations, and past and present blend within it like a hall of mirrors. The production is part of the Canal Hispanidad cycle.

With wit and great humanity, the character faces the changes that ageing brings and seeks new ways of adapting. The piece goes beyond a literal portrait of old age and explores the relationship between youth and advanced age, as well as the way the body, memory and one's own self-image transform over the years. On stage there is a faux nude.

The creation is inspired by the life of Gabriela Muñoz's great-aunt, alter ego of Chula The Clown, and is conceived as a tribute to a life lived to the full. It addresses the passing of time, memories, identity and the importance of finding reasons to enjoy what has been lived.
