Gola

He never ever stops. He wants to savour everything

Gola is a show that starts with the idea of gluttony understood as a need and vice to swallow in excess everything that we desire or that makes us desire. It is a show that seeks to include different languages performed by a single actor, Oriol Pla.

The journey of an actor-character, in a constantly evolving space, who only knows how to reflect by placing himself on borderlines, in the gaps between the voice and the word; performance and theatre; movement and dance; the buffoon and the clown, as a metaphor for the trap behind the illusion of being able to swallow everything.

He doesn't stop, he doesn't stop. He wants to taste everything. And he skips, superficially, over things.
"Don't be selfish. What a shame. Cover your mouth, your teeth are showing."
He became small, very small... and now he's an expert at pleasing everyone.
Taking advantage of the benefits, of course. A skilled harlequin.
Look at him, jumping from here to there, thus avoiding pausing for even a moment to observe everything around him.
He is happy in fantasy.
He dances because he no longer remembers who he is. No one remembers.
Now he only strives to be seen. He can't help it.
He doesn't stop, he doesn't stop.
To be seen—even if offering a poor image—frees him from the torturous tyranny of insignificance.
