Vaques Flaques

Stand-up show by Marc Sarrats, Catalan screenwriter and comedian, who tackles current crises such as inflation, the pandemic and precarious work with humour.

Vaques Flaques is a stand-up show in which Marc Sarrats runs through issues that define the present: the drought, inflation, the pandemic, the rise of the far right, precarious work, conspiracy thinking or journalism. The starting point is a society that piles one crisis on top of another and which, according to the show's premise, seems to have no way out other than individualism or substances, including craft beer.

On stage, the comedian sets out different ways of facing the apocalypse or, rather, whatever happens in the meantime. The register sits within social and current-affairs comedy, with a direct approach to the issues that run through everyday life.

The show is staged at the Teatre Municipal Ateneu de Sant Celoni, a municipal venue in the town that hosts shows and other cultural activities.
