Peyu and Albert Pla: shared humor and delirium
yes Shakespeare if he raised his head, he might not recognize anything, but he would certainly join in the laughter. After a successful year for Catalonia, Pew i Albert Plan they arrive in Barcelona with their private Hamleta proposal as absurd as it is lucid that lands at the Coliseum Theater from December 23.
There are comedies born out of chaos, and this is one of them. When two personalities as singular as those of Peyu and Pla coincide on a stage, the result can only be unpredictable. Far from Shakespeare, this one Hamlet it places two strangers sharing a hospital room, room 313. With irony and without filters, the two artists play to laugh at what is most difficult to face: death, coexistence and one’s own miseries. “The drama on stage increases the humor in a very natural way, and in a hospital room everything is so real that it makes you laugh out loud”, explains Peyu, who signs the text with Pla i Joan Roura.
The montage was born from improvisation, although, as Pla admits, “we wrote letter by letter and then we took care of destroying everything on stage”. The complicity between the two artists is the axis that supports the piece: “It’s Peyu and I playing the carallot,” admits Pla, “but also trying to learn new things.” Because it’s not the first time they’ve worked together: they’ve already done it on the show wise nature from TV3. “Working with Albert is a true glory, we have taken advantage of his skills with music and mine with the text, and the result is well born”, confesses Peyu.
The play was staged at the Teatre Auditori de Calldetenes, true to the artists’ spirit of proximity. “We wanted to continue to decentralize culture a little, as we had already done with other shows. We started in Calldetenes and now we are closing the circle in Barcelona”, explains the Osonenc. After the success of the public in stages such as Valls or Balaguer, the duo arrives in the Catalan capital with the illusion of “seeing our name in the light bulbs of the Coliseum”.
The show can be seen until April 6, 2026, with performances from Thursday to Sunday. Ninety minutes of humor, music and humanity that transform a hospital room into an uncomplicated space. Because, as Peyu and Pla remember, “compared to real life, Hamlet it’s a comedy.”
