I dedicate the present exvoto to Saint Genesius, saint patron of actors, for the talent of Charlie Chaplin. His brilliant career made him a worldwide cinema legend. I enjoy many of his movies, but my favorite is his role in “The Great Dictator”.

I dedicate the present exvoto to Saint Genesius, patron of actors, for the great talent of the main characters of the tv-series “Money Heist”. Their great performance, which is unforgettable, made all of us, fans of the series, to fell in love with them.

The Umbrellas clown thanks Saint Genesius for that day when his leg went numb and the wire got so tense it broke. Fortunately, the Twisted clown who was passing near by took him upon himself so he didn’t even got hurt, and now they are inseparable.

We found a headless dove without blood on the set. It wasn’t a witchcraft but an extraterrestrial Peruvian chupacabra that drowned in the lake afterwards. I dedicate this retablo to Saint Genesius for saving our play.

I dedicate this exvoto to Saint Genesius, saint patron of the actors, for the movie “We, the poor”. When I was little we lived in a communal neighborhood because my family lived a very modest life. Now, when I grew up, I watch this movie and I relate to its characters. I remember that, despite poverty and social injustice, the family union is the most important thing.

We thank the patron of the clowns, Saint Genesius of Rome, for our participation in the Public Transport campaign against COVID-19 “Do not let the clown take you” in which we gave out masks and antibacterial gel at the most busy metro stations exhorting “If you’re going in subway, put a mask on right away”.

Saint Genesius of Rome, patron saint of actors and actresses, allow us to make a play about Frida in June and make the industry recover quickly after the COVID-19 crisis.

I dedicate this retablo to Saint Genesius thanking him for the enormous talent of the movie director Robert Rodriguez. Since my young years, I’ve been a fan of his movies. Among my favorites are “El Mariachi”, “Desperado”, “From Dusk till Dawn” and “Machete”. I wish him many years and success.
