Lamine Thior «Más que Palabras»
Sat 23 May
Centro Cultural Guaires, Gáldar
Lamine Thior returns with Más que palabras, a show where comedy blends with improvisation, dialogue with the audience and, who knows, even an unexpected dance. Here you don't just talk, you play with words and their meanings, with expressions, the RAE, flat Earth theory, and even with ChatGPT.
Each performance is different because Lamine doesn't simply tell jokes, but turns the stage into an open conversation, full of surprises and intelligent humor. If you like monologues that don't feel like monologues, but a chat with the funniest friend in the gang, this is your show.
Laugh, participate and discover that Más que palabras is, indeed, much more than words.
