BOUFFON
May 31 to JUNE 3, 2010
10 am to 1 pm
$265.00 (equity discount available)
Once a year, the Buffoon emerges from the swamps to tell their stories.
They are the outcast. They are ugly, their bodies are twisted and they arrive limping
or crawling or however they can, but always in a pack.
Their weapon is parody and they use it to denounce the hypocrisy.
Their laughter, their silence, their exaggeration cuts like a knife.
They are the children of the devil.
CLOWN
JUNE 7 to 10, 2010
10 am to 1 pm
$265.00 (equity discount available)
What is most important for every performer is to find the pleasure
to make an entrance, to play with abandon, to make a joke,
to be lost and not run away in shame - this is the world of the CLOWNS.
They come into the theatre armed with jokes, gags, a song, a dance,
many verses of Shakespeare and when they fall flat on their faces
they search deep inside themselves for the strength to continue
to see if they can find a way to connect with the audience.
