La Cita


La Cita (the Date)
La Gata Cirko
Felipe Ortiz
Sebastian Sero

La Cita has an unusual delicacy for a clown show. The main character has a sweet and gentle manner. His moves are small, but his emotions are deep. He has the simple task of preparing his home for a visitor. Setting the table, fixing the lights. Each time his own awkwardness got in his way or his inner mischief took over and made a mess. 

The relationship between the musician and the actor was was so playful. When Felipe started his walk exactly with the first note of the music, it was delightful, I wanted it to happen more!!! I was disappointed when they used recorded music, and sound effects, as the live music was so right for the direct and subtle spirit of this show. 

I hope Felipe can find ways to keep the "still waters (running deep)" in all the parts of the show--even in the traditional skill parts, because that is where he is unique and lovable.
