Squadra Sua – Across
A surreal clown comedy directed by Jos Houben and Veronika Poldauf Riedlbauchová.
Five clowns are on their way from point A to point B, or maybe from B to A, or if you want, to point C via a load of other points. They’re on the path everyone loves to stroll through their inner world. You can’t avoid a story no matter how hard you try.
Five clowns in smart jackets bring up a heavy question: to be or not to be. It’s so heavy that at least one of them should lose some weight. Five clowns stick to their course without asking where the sticks came from. Dream logic and everyday absurdity ceremoniously intermix in suspended buckets. But if you trip, don’t kick the bucket!
Length 70 min Who is it suitable for? 9+

About Squadra Sua
Our work oscillates between boisterous outdoor slapstick and refined stage productions, both based on the clown archetype and the principles of clown acts. Seen from a clown’s perspective, life’s everyday adventures are revealed as both ordinary and transcendental.
