The La Petita Malumaluga company is presenting, as part of the Romaeuropa Festival – REF 2025, its latest creation, Marceline, at the former Mattatoio. The show features a dancer, a soprano, and a live string quartet to tell the extraordinary story of Marceline Orbés who, born in 1873 in the southern Pyrenees, was a pioneer of the modern clown and Charles Chaplin's teacher. His career was highly successful at the New York Hippodrome, but with the advent of cinema, his art was forgotten. His great-great-granddaughter Eva, fascinated by his legacy, has decided to revive Marceline's memory, by creating this show that blends dance, live music, and technology, recounting the life of this great artist and the strong bond he shared with his descendant. Spectators – both adults and children – are thus transported on an exciting and engaging journey back in time, to discover the performing arts and their value.
La Petita Malumaluga is a company of dancers and musicians specializing in performing arts for infants, toddlers, and their families. It stands out for its creative projects, new languages, and contemporary artistic approaches. Their productions have been presented at the most important theaters, festivals, and fairs on the international scene, in over 25 countries and across five continents: Teatre Nacional de Catalunya (Barcelona), Teatro Español (Madrid), Mercat de les Flors (Barcelona), Festival Grec (Barcelona), Shanghai Children's Art Theatre (Shanghai), Festpillene Bergen International Festival (Norway), National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts – Weiwuying (Taiwan), International Arts Carnival (Hong Kong), Macao Cultural Centre (Macao), Dansa València (Valencia), Lincoln Center (New York), and the biennial fair Cinars (Montreal). The company's creations have been recommended by the Red de Teatros and nominated finalists for the Max Awards and the Butaca Awards.
