BOUFFON 1: MOCKING, FLOCKING, AND MADNESSThe World laughs at the Clown, but the Bouffons laugh at the World! Unleash your inner Bouffon in an explosion of fun and comedy gold.
Imagine a wild-eyed pack of Players, ecstatic to mock anything and everything. Ridiculous, confronting and poetic, this Satyric chorus teeters on the seesaw of fun and uncomfortable truth.

Ensemble play & Complicity
Chorus work
Finding the fun in mocking
Non-linear play
Investigating dynamics of objects, actions, and roles
Join us! Fun, freedom and mischief await!
Suitable for actors, clowns, comedians, improvisers, dancers, devisors and anyone investigating pleasure, play and fun.
