Ever since its discovery (one assumes in some prehistoric era replete with natural phenomena and now-extinct animals), the chair has accompanied humans beings in the vast majority of their endeavors. Tricicle Tricicle have been making audiences laugh without words for 25 years now. The trio themselves class their humour, which others simply and affectionately call "Tricicle-humour" due to its unique quality, as theatre without text or textless theatre. At the outset, the group performed on the street, moving on to local neighbourhood theatres and, at present, they usually play at thousand-seater-plus venues. They mainly perform nationally, but after several international tours they are familiar with the national monuments and cuisines of a good part of the globe. What can we say then about their humour? It is based on gags. The surprise factor is a fundamental part of their performance. They are masters of absurd humour. They are the heirs of comic greats such as the Marx Brothers and Jacques Tati. You can indeed say many things. But the most important thing is that when the show ends, their audiences leave the theatre with a smile on their face and the sensation that for almost two hours they have put their personal problems to the back of their minds. The company's motto is "To hear the Tricicle-2 Although Tricicle usually produce a new show every four years or so, there are still a good few cities that have still not been able to programmer the company. Though famed for their fast-fire delivery, the three-strong company has still not mastered the art of ubiquity. For this reason, in 1989 Tricicle created a sister company to honor international commitments. The award for best foreign show in France, and the Estrella de Plata prize in Mar de Plata, Argentina vouches for the quality of Tricicle-2. In 1998, Tricicle recreated the sister company, and the group's second formation has been performing successfully ever since, with revivals of past hit-shows such as SLASTIC, EXIT, TRICICLE 20 and in 2006 SIT. TRICICLE-2 is the visible proof that Tricicle's humor is based on script and performance quality as opposed to individual caricatures that, in the case of many other comedians, are just simply impossible to transfer. This timelessness can currently be seen both nationally and internationally in the form of this sister clown companies that have already presented the shows in China, Portugal, Peru, Austria, Tunez, Switzerland, France, Italia, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Germany… The chair is and has been a privileged witness to peace treaties, mouth-watering feasts, congenial conversations, sensational shows, tough trials, long waits and passionate love affairs. The chair has also been a co-star of Tricicle's on countless occasions, present in gags and sketches from previous shows such as Slastic, Exit or Entretrès (Three for all). Today, we have chosen the chair as our focal point, the main character, the central inspiration for our new show. SIT tells the story - the history, of the chair, its different uses and the everyday situations in which it finds itself, from its invention to present day. It is a story told by a series of fictitious characters known as the Chairwoods. The Chairwoods belong to the saga of the very first hominids to use the chair, not just to sit down and rest upon, but also in the context of many other interactions such as the fact, for example, of being seated to watch a theatre performance. At the same time, the Company's intention was to create a show in which the chair's aesthetic nature and its functionality turn it into a partand-parcel character of the performance. Tricicle have created a show in which humor is explored through scenic and aesthetic interaction within the framework of their unique theatrical approach to everyday situations - a formula with which the audience can readily identify themselves time and time again.
