She has been talking about personal experiences and how important is to be explain them. She has remembered a beautiful personal story about Charlie Rivel, the clown, and his town, Cubelles.
Cubelles is a municipality situated in the comarca of Garraf in Catalonia.
Josep Andreu i Lasserre (April 23, 1896-July 26, 1983), best known as Charlie Rivel, was an internationally known Catalan circus clown.
He was born in Cubelles, El Garraf. His parents Pere Andreu Pausas and Marie-Louise Lasarre were circus artists as well.
He debuted at the age of three and formed the group Los Rivels with his brothers Polo Rivel and René Rivel. He took his artistic first name from Charlie Chaplin whom he encountered first in 1910. Each respected the other. Legend has it that Chaplin later asked him: Is it you who imitate me or I who imitate you?
He later discovered his definitive routine, featuring a chair, a guitar and a long jersey.
In 1971, he appeared in Federico Fellini's film Clowns.
He performed in the interval act for the Eurovision Song Contest 1973 in Luxembourg.
The Charlie Rivel Hall in Cubelles is a museum dedicated to him.

El riure és l'únic llenguatge en el qual
s'expressen tots els pobles de la terra.
Laughter is the only language in which
all the peoples of the earth are expressed.
