Guillem Albà ’s new show is a journey to the roots of his creative world, where images, poetry, and craftsmanshipintertwine. Through puppetry and comedy, he invites a young audience on a journey centered around the use of hands, that very part of the body that brings us back to what is tangible, everyday, and concrete. These hands have created most of the objects we use daily, giving life to both sublime beauty and the most terrible atrocities. They are also silent witnesses to the stories that have always connected us, telling the tales that bind us together. Solitud is a tribute to this essential part of our body, ensuring that hands never remain alone, forgotten amid keyboards, screens, and the overwhelming flood of information. It’s an experience that invites us to rediscover the importance of what is human, simple, and shared.
He trained in comedy and clowning with Carlo Colombaioni, Eric de Bont, Christophe Marchand, Leo Bassi, and Jango Edwards, the latter also directing his first creation show. In 2006, he founded the company GUILLEM ALBÀ, with which he has premiered 8 original shows: Sketchofrenia, Flirt, Trau, Marabunta, Pluja (with Clara Peya), Calma!, Jaleiu, and recently, Ma Solitud.

He has worked in theater (Titzina Teatre, Àngel Llà cer), radio (La Segona Hora, Islà ndia on RAC1), and television (’El Llenguado’ and ‘Celebrem!’ on TV3).
