The company, led by Jimena Cavalletti and created together with Laia Sales, has a clear artistic vision: closeness and direct connection with the audience, humour, music, and normalising the sight of women performing comedy on stage. Jimena began her training in theatre, circus, dance, and music in 1994, participating in and co-creating shows since 1997. She has worked with numerous international artists and has been awarded several prizes for her creations, such as Usted Está Aquí, De todas las bellas, las más BELLOTAS, Kaput, and Baldin Bada. Since 2020, she has also stood out as a stage director, collaborating on projects in both Latin America and Europe.
B.O.B.A.S. stands for Banda Orquestal Benéfica de Actos Sepulcrales (Charity Funeral Orchestra Band). Imagine a humble band ready for a funeral ceremony... but this time, the priest and the deceased are nowhere to be found! In B.O.B.A.S., this trio of musicians shares an uncomfortable... and utterly disastrous wait with the grieving family and friends. With trumpet, euphonium, snare drum and cymbal, this peculiar group transforms a dramatic situation into a comedy of accidents. Perfect for performing anywhere – on land, outdoors, without electricity and even in the rain – these masters of classical and contemporary clowning take advantage of the occasion to make us laugh out loud at the most basic things.
