“Gag Movie” show by Yllana

Four film characters have become trapped in a single frame and can’t continue their story. In the family show “Gag Movie”, the audience helps to set them free: as soon as the call “Lights! Camera! Action!” is heard, the frozen image turns into a theatrical adventure.

Once on stage, the characters guide the audience through some of the most recognisable moments in cinema and show how a film is made. The explanations quickly give way to visual humour, and the filming itself becomes a comedy. The theatre plays with cinematic techniques to invent its own tricks.

Scenes follow one another at a fast pace, inviting the audience to spot the references and follow the characters’ adventures. No film knowledge is needed to enjoy it: just let yourself be carried along by whatever these four protagonists can do outside their frame.
