Theater – between science and clowning, Oscar Gómez Mata goes to tickle Borges

Obviously, everything should have gone differently. Had it not been for the virus’ intervention, Oscar Gómez Mata would have created the “makers” last October on the stage of the Azcona Alundega Center in Bilbao, where he was completing a year of artistic residency. Circumstances forced him to postpone the promptly ripening premiere of the duo until mid-April. And suddenly, in his adopted city of Geneva, before a year was established next November, a group of “professionals” had the pleasure of attending one final spinning session last Saturday.

Even his partner complains about this extra charisma that would almost overwhelm him. This observation was also verified when the Lascarans, who wear Circassian suits, literally chain the numbers of clowns under their umbrellas in a false seat. And again when they turn into shaman cultivators, they dig here, the sensuality of the Saint Lucia painting by Baroque Francesco Forini, there is the speed of light and the “eternal dream of a photon,” elsewhere “the primordial soup by the Big Bang.
