World's fastest quick-change artist returns to Barcelona with solo spectacle

Renowned quick-change artist Arturo Brachetti returns to Barcelona after nearly two decades with 'Solo - The Legend of Quick Change', a 90-minute one-man show in which he performs 65 costume changes at lightning speed. 

The show will grace the stage of Barcelona's Teatre Victòria, which has been run for the past four years by acclaimed Catalan magician Mago Pop with the aim of becoming Europe's most important venue for illusionism.

From May 24 to June 9, Brachetti will bring fairy tales to life through the art of quick change, shadow puppetry, lasers, and sand painting, creating a kaleidoscope of lights, costumes, and breathtaking illusions. 

Throughout his career, Brachetti has performed over 250,000 costume changes and over 2 million people have seen his show worldwide.

In 2002, he was awarded the Guinness World Record as "the world's most prolific and fastest quick-change artist."

The production, which Brachetti has been refining for seven years, delves into his fantasies and dreams through the metaphor of a dollhouse that symbolizes his memories. 

The dollhouse features different rooms, each representing a chapter of his life, with Brachetti transforming into beloved movie characters and musicians from his childhood, such as the Hulk, Batman, or Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.
