The director of the group (a lovely lady 82 years old) tells us that we have to get people laugh WITH us rather than AT us, emphasizing the idea of a common joy for artists and audience. I see it very similar to the other way, that´s to share with them a deep emotion that brings tears to them and sometimes can crack us up as well. There´s another (secret) reason for which I enjoy this so much. My partner on the stage, Alicia, is my partner in real life. Three years ago I saw her at the theatre and suddenly knew that she was going to be someone important to me, after the loss of my dear wife. We re-made the story of the brilliant dancer and the sad gentleman in the audience, she brought me back to life, and now we perform together, and she can´t be more happy. Un abrazo - Andrés
