Tricicle from A to Z
An encyclopedia that summarizes the history of the famous theater company in small doses that are as informative as they are fun. From the beginnings of three friends who wanted to take over the world to the three veterans who continue to fill theaters after thirty-five years. A work that mixes anecdotes, travels, theories, data, friends, theatrical tricks, methodology, improvisations, humor, hobbies, dreams, hopes and the occasional small failure that makes its triumph even more brilliant. A sparkling work, nothing rhetorical, direct and full of humor … but at the same time full of reflections that do not seem so because they are neither speculative nor inflated with packaging.
Reading it in small doses, like one read dictionaries to avoid embarrassment, one gets a very close and complete idea of the personality of its components and of their impressive career in show business.
Garrick goes to India
Garrick, created by Tricicle in the purest comic style and with the intention of making us smile with a solidarity purpose that only seeks to obtain financing for one of the many projects that the NGO ADA develops in the state of Maharashtra: the literacy of 2,000 children and women of the Adivasi ethnic group, which this year will materialize in the creation, in different towns, of 20 mobile schools and 10 aid groups for women.
The book costs € 10 but its real value in India corresponds almost to the cost of a school year in a mobile school. The amount of three books would be equivalent to the monthly salary of a teacher and, with the benefits of 10 copies, a cabin school could be built.
