PERFECT BEASTS: Modern Bouffon Clown

PERFECT BEASTS: Modern Bouffon Clown

PERFECT BEASTS is an evening of Bouffon Clown performance by Stephen Daytime and Joshua Kilcoyne, devised and presented in collaboration with Jay Dunn.

Part One: MINOTAUR, is a playfully grotesque exploration of hysterical masculinity and manosphere culture presented as an ever-expanding and increasingly absurd list of rules and instructions on how to live your life right.

Part Two: MIMI, is a playfully anarchic deconstruction of hyper-individualism presided over by a strange and beguiling birdlike creature with an insatiable appetite for admiration.

Bouffon is a form of modern clown and physical theater rooted in the art of satire and mockery. Bouffons are voracious, lustful, mischievous creatures to whom nothing and no one is sacred. They are seductive mimics and shameless provocateurs who revel in taking the piss out of everyone and everything around them. The audience laughs at the clown - the bouffon laughs at the audience.

Total runtime approximately 75 minutes, no intermission.
Not suitable for children under 12 years of age.
