Synopsis

"Freaks" is a street theatre performance from veteran Catalan theatre company Gog i Magog, performed in the 2005 edition of the Fira de Teatre in Tàrrega. The elephant man, the strongman, the contortionist, the Siamese twins, the fly-man... all have escaped from the circus and now live in the streets performing on their own behalf. Making "Freaks" documents the whole creative process of this ambitious show, from the original idea to its performance before the public, through the casting process, the creation of the special effects, the construction of the characters, the costumes, the rehearsals and the design of the music.
