Mr. Bo

Three servants have worked for Mr Bo. all their lives. They no longer know how to do anything else. They’re so used to following their master’s orders they have forgotten the day they had the chance to say “enough”, when Bo was a boy. Now he’s become a grumpy adult and it seems too late. The three servants imagine what the world would be like if they were the lords of the manor. Perhaps they will soon have the opportunity for a better future.

What mother or father doesn’t think, at one time or another, that they have raised a little dictator? How do we behave when we come face to face with tyranny? Is it possible to change what we are? Mr. Bo, a new creation by Marie de Jongh Teatroa, a Basque company which combines masked and clown theatre, is a comedy for the whole family which aims to answer these and other questions. The show has no dialogue and is aimed at children, using humour and gesture to explore the rationale behind despotic power and the way we face it. 

It’s a theatre production for all audiences staged as one of the activities in the NAVIDIEZ series at Nave 10 Matadero.
