Old age cycle
The redemption of the clown
Neo-classical cabaret
The clown's revenge
50 min. | indoor and outdoor | all ages | creation 2015
After ninety years of misfortune, disappointment and banana peels, an old clown comes back riding his wheel chair to take the law into his own hands. It will be a wild-goose chase, with acrobat reindeers, short-sighted jugglers and assassin flies trying to stop him.
In a barrage of red noses, he will give black eyes around and he will fight until his last breath to defend his dignity. If he will eventually succeed, it will be only thanks to the support of the public. A circus show in the pursuit of lightness and fun.
A cabaret to the rescue where the clown wins in the end!
Recommended for street art festivals, new generation theatre festivals, and Sunday shows.

Thematic focus
Old Age Cycle
Since 2011, Madame Rebiné has been exploring the figure of the elderly as a poetic and comic icon, a natural clown filled with human contrasts: gentleness and harshness, altruism and selfishness, suffering and euphoria, fear and recklessness. This gives rise to performances and projects that give voice, space and dignity to the elderly.
