Soñando Magia

A poetic show blending illusionism and clown, created by David Vega, with magic, dreams and imagination at its heart, aimed at family audiences at La Escalera de Jacob in Madrid.

Soñando Magia is a creation by David Vega that combines illusionism with clown in a poetic register. The show is built around questions about dreams and imagination: what we want to become and what we dreamed of as children. Elegance and comic clumsiness alternate on stage, and the production is not reduced to a succession of tricks.

The creator has trained in physical theatre, dance, mime, clown, music and magic, and his career includes stints with Circo del Sol, Yllana and Mayumana. That blend carries over into a staging based on the body and movement, with a sensibility of its own that combines humour and poetry.

The show is aimed at children as well as the adults who accompany them, and seeks to help both rediscover the ability to believe in the impossible. The performance takes place at La Escalera de Jacob, a Madrid venue that programmes shows in a range of formats.
