Carles Sans is back at it. After closing his silent era with Tricicle, he flew solo with the help of the spoken word in a highly successful show that has toured for five years: Finally alone! And he keeps on talking. Maybe even a little too much, because his verbal gags work less well for him than his gestural ones. He says I'm leaving, but in the end, perhaps he will act like the bullfighters who never quite leave the bullring. The leitmotif of the new proposal is precisely what to do when he stops performing and has time to do whatever he feels like.

We meet with Carles Sans (Badalona, 1955) in a venue on Passeig de Gràcia in Barcelona with walls full of posters and stage photographs, sofas on one side of the room and a very large table on the other. "Forgive me if it's not very bright, it's a space I mostly step into at night," says Sans, who adds that they meet here once a month with Paco Mir, "president of this association of golfers". For decades, Sans has lived against the grain, working mainly on weekends and show nights and traveling up and down with his shows. Now the comedian and former member of El Tricicle says goodbye to the stage with Me'n vaig!, a monologue directed by José Corbacho that will premiere on November 4 at the Teatre Poliorama, and which can be seen until January 10. The show arrives after Per fi sol!, with which he sold more than 180,000 tickets.

Carles Sans (Badalona, ​​1955) has spent more than four decades on stage, most of them without uttering a word. A founding member of Tricicle, along with Joan Gràcia and Paco Mir, he helped transform gesture into a recognizable and exportable stage language. Now, in a phase marked by his shift to spoken performance, Sans reflects on time, the body, changing habits, and his relationship with wine: a lesson that, like so many others, requires knowing when to open a bottle and when to leave it closed.
