What is "tricicle"

Tricicle is a humorous gestural theater company of three actors – Joan Gràcia, Paco Mir, and Carles Sans – who founded the company in 1979 to perform their brief sketches in the street and at alternative venues.

At that time, the three members of Tricicle were students at Barcelona’s Institut del Teatre and specialised in Pantomime and the Dramatic Arts. In 1982, following several seasons of performances at alternative venues, they made their debut on the professional circuit at the Sala Villarroel in Barcelona with a show comprising a collection of different sketches created during their time at the so-called cafés-teatro (bars and cafés offering live performances). The show, entitled MANICOMIC, was both a critical and commercial success and went on to win a prize at Sitges International Theatre Festival that year.
