Last year it overwhelmed the box office and made us laugh at its bravery, and moved us to tears. It received the Zirkolika Award for the Best Clown Performance in 2014. It is Rhum, the tribute by Rhum i cia. to Joan Montanyès, and it returns to Gràcia once again.

“A clown and death, the great ugly mug, make a strange and disturbing couple. A combination that moves our soul. Creating a clown show about a death is a real challenge. Doing it about two of them is a marvellous piece of slapstick. (···) That, in the most beautiful and generous sense, is a description of Rhum, the great, emotional and hilarious tribute to Monti which a group of friends colleagues has orchestrated. The production (Zirkolika Prize 2014 for the best clowns show) runs at Christmas this season in a place as prone to wonders ('and one or two tifeta' as the clowns joke on stage) as the Teatre Lliure in Gràcia. (···) When Monti became ill he had been planning a show about Enrico Jacinto Sprocani (1904-1953), known as Rhum, a magnificent and renowned clown who worked with Pipo and who was a friend of Jacques Tati, no less. (···) The show, for all audiences, of course, is full of larks, slapstick, jokes, repetition, puns, classic entries, moments straight from Fellini (the parade with the drum, accordion and sax - 'Peppinu, blow the sax, sax!'), live music and even a very good imitation of the mayor Xavier Trias discussing the regulations covering the use of animals in the circus. (···) You laugh and laugh. While wearing a red nose. That's how clowns live and die.”
