Actapalabra is a wordless fantasmagoria performed by two clowns condemned to circle endlessly. Joan Mompart and Philippe Gouin shape a precise physical score where the absurdity of a routine recalls Chaplin’s Modern Times. Through playful repetition the piece gently shifts from mechanical deadlock to attention to the other and the unknown, blending humour and sensitivity. A universal, tender short piece that poetically invites a rediscovery of our shared humanity.
