“Encerrona” is a reflection on the everyday from the perspective of a clown. The character experiences being trapped on stage. For just over an hour, Pepe Viyuela is forced to act for an audience that watches him intensely. He is alone and his only companions are a series of objects with which he tries to work around; a guitar, a chair, a jacket, a newspaper and a ladder. We are faced with a metaphor in which the clown is each of us and his act is nothing but our lives.

“This is a story of friendship, a story about two inseparable friends”. And so Big Boy begins, a thrilling story with more than 100 characters but only two actors, who, with an empty stage, manage to take us from the First World War to dazzling New York, going through stories full of emotion, friendship, struggle, surrendering… and boxing.
Big Boy is all of these people and all are in Big Boy paying a small homage to those who had to emigrate and abandon their land and roots to enter an unknown world.
