MINIMALIST CLOWN SHOW FOR ALL AGES (30 min)
UN ROMAN RUSSE
This show can be an independent event or as a part II of the lecture performance TOWARDS A POOR CLOWN.
BRIEF SYNOPSIS
The performance is based on my clown research during my Master's studies in Physical Theatre at the Accademia Teatro Dimitri (CH). I started with the simple questions - What is clown? What makes it unique and what distinguishes it from other performing practices? What is really necessary to make a clown performance? Thus, this Grotowskian concept of 'poor' came out. 'Poor' in the sense of set design, props, make-up and instead rich in emotions and games. It seems that there is nothing on stage, but for the clown there is so much - the space, the audience, himself, his dress, his voice, language..
GENRES
This is a show for children and families, involving the audience in games and participation.
