Bio

Edgardo Gonzalez Calafell having always been a clown, became interested in the stage at the age of 15. He practiced different circus arts at “La Paternal” cultural centre in Buenos Aires and at the Acrobatics School of Granada University.

In the meantime taking different kind of workshops in clownerie, physical theater, street performing and acting with various teachers as Hilary Chaplain, Loco Brusca, Chacovachi, Mauro Wolynski and Rodrigo Aragón.

Settling in Spain he went on to set up the “La Mona y El Boqueron” cultural centre in 2003 alongside several other artists. This was to attract the welcome influence of companions and maestros from France, Spain, Poland, Italy and Argentina. With this collective of scenic artists of different nationalities, styles and disciplines begins a cycle of monthly varietés lasting for five years. Works such as the following arise: Cabaret Subterrano (2006), Tutti a bordo (2006), El Rincón de Maikel Tano (2008), El Caballero rojo (2012) and Esto es cualquiera (2013).

From 2009-2010 Papito worked with CIA Rolabola of Málaga in the show “Plácidos Domingos”.

In 2012 he co-created, with Carlos Benito Gall, the comedy show “Cabaret Marciano”, which was to tour Spain with over 100 shows and led to “Cabaret Marciano 2”. The latter was the second part of what went to become a trilogy.

Since 2007, he has taken to the streets, something which has allowed him to personalize his vision of interacting with and entertaining the public.

The Show

Papito - A Different Player

Hear the latin rhythms: dance and happiness, constant surprise. Out of a chest comes to two chairs and a variety of objects with which an uncommon relationship is established, with a special objective of warming the hearts of his dear public. Papito (a unique player) with happiness and a characteristic attitude, he presents a fresh and entertaining show appropriate for any public.
Papito (a different player) attempts to find and reveal his true essence, not only as an actor but also as a human being. This is a search for pure energy that transforms everything into laughs, applause and cries of joy.
