About the show

Political reflection and humor run through La Calòrica’s theater, which has been on stage for over a decade. Fairfly, -MAX for the best revelation show in 2018-, is consistent with these topics. The economical crisis and the work environment constitute the framework for a story about four friends who try to organize themselves after being fired. They discuss whether defend their jobs or make an old brilliant idea from the past come true. According to their authors, Fairfly stresses in the reality of to the present, the government and the markets attempt to change the unemployment figures and finish with the social consciousness. They try to show that, if professional life is precarious, unhappy or unsatisfactory, it is only due to a lack of “entrepreneurial culture”. And therefore, campaigns to help start-ups and motivational slogans such as: “Go out for your dream”.
