Tricicle

Tricicle was founded in Barcelona in 1979 by three comedians: Joan Gràcia, Carles Sans, and Paco Mir. The trio established their reputation by performing entirely wordless, slapstick routines. They remained a cohesive performing unit for decades until their eventual retirement from the stage.

One of their most acclaimed and longest-running shows is "Slastic," which premiered in 1985. The production focuses entirely on the world of sports, using elaborate props and physical comedy to parody athletic events. It solidified their international reputation as masters of mime and visual gags.

No, Tricicle built their entire career on wordless performances that rely on precise choreography, gesture, and visual gags. By avoiding spoken dialogue, their comedy transcends language barriers, making them highly popular both in Spain and internationally. This slapstick style was heavily inspired by silent film stars like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.

Yes, in addition to their live stage work, Tricicle produced a television series called "Tricicle 3.3" in the late 1990s. The show adapted their signature physical comedy and silent theatrical sketches into short television formats. It aired in Spain and helped bring their unique brand of humor to a broader home audience.
