Abubukaka is one of the most high-profile and visible theatre companies in the Canary Islands. Established in 2006, it currently has two active performance pieces every season, which means they stage an average of 60 shows a year and have an audience of over 25,000 per season.
Otto Stragman, their most recent work, is a shameless, no-holds-barred sketch show with quite a bit of bite.
Four performers jump from one character to another, ripping everything apart: politics, posturing, relationships, work, culture, and anything else within reach. Nothing is sacred and everything can be turned into a gag.
Absurd situations, speeches that lead nowhere, bodies that speak louder than words, and a pace that barely leaves you space to breathe between laughs. It plays with the uncomfortable, the ridiculous, and the exaggerated until you are no longer sure whether to laugh or look away.
Otto Stragman is a wild, fast-paced comedy with a bit of bite. The kind that makes you laugh… and then you realize the joke hits close to home.
