The Tricycle is a strangely light-hearted tale of poverty and murder. This perfect example of absurd theatre questions the limits of freedom and the relationship between our acts and their consequences in a rotten society in which children have to commit sinister acts to survive.
The Tricycle tells the story of a murder committed by marginal individuals (Climando, Apal and Mita) to a citizen to rob him and the process of their arrest and death.
At the beginning of the play, Climando’s concerns seem to be reduced to paying for the tricycle rental, which serves as a tool to earn money to protect the rest of the characters. Mita instead, proposes her desire to escape the system by committing suicide, where Apal has decided to evade himself from the reality by constantly falling asleep. This situation will be alternated when the man with the banknotes appears. The teenagers see how the possibility of having the money for the hire of the tricycle and to live in peace may become reality. The decision of killing the man with the banknotes reveals the necessity of survival, but do Climando and his friends understand the consequences of their acts?
The last of the characters, the Old Man with the Flute represent the connection between the world we can see on the stage and the incomprehensible world outside where the policeman belong.
