Marceline is the latest offering from the company, featuring a dancer, a soprano, and a live string quartet. Marceline Orbés was born in the south of the Pyrenees in 1873 and established the foundations of modern clown language in London. Without a doubt, he is one of the essential figures in the performing arts of his time and a creator of new theatrical formats.

He was the mentor of Charles Chaplin and an influence on Buster Keaton. He filled two daily shows at the Hippodrome in New York, the largest theater in the world, where he was the main star. A few years later, cinema appeared and theaters ceased to be the temples of entertainment. Some, like Charles Chaplin, managed to adapt, while others, like Marceline, met a tragic end and fell into complete oblivion.

Eva is his great-great-granddaughter and has wanted to take to the stage since she became aware of it. No one had ever spoken to her about Marceline, until her grandmother, in the last years of her life, explained her origins and why her parents tried to dissuade her from pursuing an artistic career.

Marceline, portrayed by a dancer, a soprano, and a string quartet, aims to be a tribute to the performing arts. Through movement, live music, and technology applied to the scene, it offers a journey through the life of Marceline Orbés and his relationship with Eva. It commits to an aesthetic reflection on the artistic fact in this society and in that of the early 20th century.
