WHAT’S THE SHOW ABOUT?

In Vaques flaques, Marc Sarrats performs a stand-up routine that combines sharp humour with reflections on how to live, and even how to raise children. This is set against a backdrop of a world marked by a series of crises, including economic instability, inflation, drought, the rise of extreme rhetoric, and social mistrust. From a personal and very self-critical perspective, he connects with the tradition of the most conscious stand-up. There is no room for self-righteousness, as he turns his own contradictions into fuel for laughter.

Through intense and energetic performances, he tackles topics such as masculinity, therapy, religion, politics, and the collapse of the First World. He uses comedy as a way to resist, understand and, at least for a while, laugh at the coming of the apocalypse.
