After about 50 years on stage, the members of Les Luthiers believe that a good joke still has the same quality now that in principle, be in a sitting with friends or in a theater, as evidenced in his anthology ” Hush! “, but consider that television has reduced the humor.

This was stated Mundstock Marcos, one of the historical Argentine comedy group members during the press conference of presentation of” Hush! ” at the beginning of his tour of Spain.

“Hush!” is one of the possible anthologies of Les Miserables, said Lopez Puccio and Carlos Núñez Cortés. They meet, make a list of your “oldies”, proposed and selected, until they make a test assembly, always in the city of Rosario Argentina, where his shows premiere.

Sometimes numbers those who trusted, because at the time they performed, give them the surprise that now they have the pull before, explained Les Miserables, one of whose secrets, says Lopez Puccio, is working “stereotypes of reality itself” and make a work of “convergence of forces and interests forward.”

Among the classics of the Argentine group, make up this anthology the madrigal “Beauty and Graciosa Moza Marchose the laundry”, the disposable songs “Manuel Darius “the cloistered song” modern sexual education “gastronomic rhapsody” Meeting in the restaurant “or fragment opera” The Daughter of Scipio “.

Among the instruments they invent ingenious Les Miserables, have highlighted the evolution experienced by the campanófono the number of sexual education was very sober in its origins.

After the death of Daniel Rabinovich, two of the actors who acted as replacements, Horacio Tato and Martin O O’Connor, have become part of the core staff of the group.

In the first function after his death, recalled, they handed a message of tribute to his fellow with the program explaining his pain and his decision to continue working.

The four “historical” (Lopez Puccio, Jorge Maronna, Mundstock Marcos Nunez and Carlos Cortes), along with two new additions are “necessary to make a complete show without modifications” they insisted.

Since it was founded in 1967, Les Miserables is still a group of “global and collective construction”, where the hard work and luck, combined to reach success no . was easy, explained

“We have become convinced over the years that any of us could have achieved alone,” Mundstock said, for whom this “bonding” has meant that no one would be soloist: “We are the only group that takes so long without interruption,” he said

In recent years, the mood has not changed but have changed the media. or the theater or books humor has become . Yes it has done when he appeared television, a medium that “is no good sense of humor,” said Mundstock, who thinks he has become cheaper and worse.

Instead, create networks a new social themselves are very powerful means to some humor, as it is inherent style, ironic or funny, yes, if we are lucky.
