'Wanting and not being able'

"There are many genres within each genre. And perhaps comedy is the richest of all in diversity and miscegenation. Those from Cane Mondo know this and make the most of it, expressing the versatility of some very inspired actors who, throughout this short but intense performance that is Wanted and Unable, develop clown and mime techniques with remarkable skill, appeal to absurd and delirious humor, exploit the visual gag and gestural histrionics with adequate restraint without ever entering into caricature, hint at the participation of the viewer through direct interpellation, but without abusing it, which thanks, and they use hybrid formulas reminiscent of Tricicle. But although all these factors are basic for the good functioning of the function, the most important and correct in reference to the comic effectiveness of the work, which is a lot, is the ability of the actors (and among them Enric Ases also as director) to foster complicity with the public, which recognizes a good part of the everyday situations parodied by the performers, and which allows people to identify with the different characters, with the irony of incisive naivety of the dialogues, with the home philosophy of some extravagant but lucid reflections, and even with more than one vital approach, which is not because eccentric is less common in our existential routine.

A feed-back between the stage and the audience that gives Want and no Power the status of a more transcendental work than it seems, and less insignificant as a social portrait than its buffoonish tone initially suggests. It could even be seen as a "realist" chronicle in a parodic key of the small, intimate and undeniable details that mark the day to day and make up what Unamuno calls "intrahistory". The individual and daily history of each one of us that, added to the millions of stories, no less important than the rest of humanity, make up the History that is written with capital letters.

And apart from all this, with Cane Mondo you will be left with laughter, and this does not allow different readings. It's very funny, period."
