Theater, Find Out Why I Love “Orgasmos”

Coming up to Christmas and New Year’s Eve, I have decided to become healthier. This meant for me less drinking and watching out what I eat. Of course, with this objective in mind, I had to find new activities – different from eating, in case I was not really clear ;).

Last Friday, a friend of mine and myself looked for a show or a play to go to instead of going for dinner… We found a play in the Teatre del Raval, a theatre in Raval. The title? “Orgasmos“. No need to translate that one, right?

“Orgasmos”… with a name like that, would you not be intrigued too? We were, so we booked our tickets: 16 euros online (20 euros on-site). That is good value for entertainment if you want my opinion.

The play started with an introduction from the only two characters: a man and a woman. They displayed strong and positive energy. Good sign! “Orgasmos” is a comedy about men and women’s differences and a couple’s life. A kind of practical version of “Men are from Mars, Women from Venus”. I was sceptical about enjoying it as my Spanish is not fluent (ah, and yes, it is in Spanish!), but the dialogues were clear and understandable!

Moreover, the play was hilarious. I laughed a lot from the beginning to the end of it, which means for one hour and twenty minutes. That is a lot of good fun. The actors were both terrific and so expressive. I, however, have a particular fondness for the actress’s performance. 

The play is on until January 1st, 2017. To book your ticket, click here
