Críticas
Clown, mime, teacher and director
Avener Eisenberg (The eccentric Clown)
¨In his new one-man show Marco Flozu pops out of a pile of discarded brown paper in a world made almost entirely of discarded paper. He looks like he was also discarded. Using only paper and three bowler hats, Marco Flozu creates a hilarious day-in-the-life of this discarded refugee from the world as we know it. He manages his morning toilette, a dinner party for three friends, represented only by his expert manipulation of the three hats, and a mad tennis game against an opponent from the audience and even and audience member as referee. In the end he snuggles back under his blanket of discarded brown paper and we are left where we started except now our bellies are aching from laughter and our cheeks are sore from smiling so hard for so long.¨

¨It’s 2:50 am. Why wait until now to describe, if possible, such a magnificent experience. Only in solitude, in the thunderous silence of memory can I make an attempt to explain to myself this wonderful experience «YOU PLAY»; With only precise movements, in a certain space, with a complicit sound and the poetics of the Physical Theater I saw one of the most beautiful shows, tender, hilarious, reflective, poetic. With overwhelming simplicity, Marco Flozu hypnotizes us, subjugates us, falls in love with us, introduces us to a magical world from which he did not want to leave.
BRAVO yes BRAVO with capital letters to a capital job. Congratulations Marco Flozu, worthy representative of maestro Jacques Lecoq. Continue giving us your art that in these unfortunate moments we are going through is a restorative balm for our wounded humanity. Thank you Marco Flozu¨.

¨Marco Flozu is a great performer. A clown who shares his vulnerability, with many physical possibilities. In the work we accompany his loneliness, and even his madness, with laughter and tenderness. The participatory moments have made the audience burst into laughter. The aesthetics are beautiful and careful.

¨It is a work that allows the viewer to confront and question the way in which they relate to their environment in an increasingly voracious, hostile and demanding world; But it doesn’t stop there, it allows you to see that play as an element of innocence and full vulnerability can rescue us.
Actor
Diego Perez
¨This work is a hug to the heart. Flozu manages to return theater to its roots, to the space of meeting and exchange where we all feel part of the same story. Through play and humor, do you play? It makes us travel towards our most vulnerable side, allowing us to encounter our loneliness, reconcile with it and understand that it is precisely it that allows us to see ourselves in the other and seek ourselves as a community. Safety pin.

¨Juegas is a playful proposal that is loaded with several great moments. You go through hilarious laughter and suddenly you find yourself submerged in a nostalgia, even melancholic, which then becomes playful and thus, from one change to another, you feel like a participant in this crazy carousel of the game, of life itself seen from the perspective of a clown that could easily be you¨.
