the Witnesses

comic duo / clown /absurd humor

The company The Witnesses is born from the meeting of two flying and dangerously amusing souls: Rafa Santos and Eva Ribeiro.

Together they found the same vocation: to testify in the name of Love and the prophetic word of the Egyptian all seing eye.  Making a holly promise to try it all to provoke laughter in the audience, this pair of clowns began their work together in 2017.

​

In 2019 they created their first long show "The Apparition" which features the direction of Tom Roos (Belgium) in his indoor / stage version and Pedro Fabião (Portugal) in his street / outdoor version. Also accompanying the process was the Belgian illustrator Alowies (www.alowies-art.be) who made live drawings during the process of creating the characters and the show.

 In 2020/21 the show was presented in International Theater Festival  "Cómico da Maia", in International Clown Festival of Vila do Conde and mOmO_circus museum. It was also presented in 26th edition of International Clown Festival of Xirivella (Spain).

​

The show also has a short version that can be presented in gala and cabaret.
