Clowns have no gender - is this sentence by Annie Fratellini a fact, a promise or a misconception? As a border crosser, adult child, clumsy acrobat, between laughing and crying, male and female, the clown with his paradoxes gives us an opportunity to escape the fixed social patterns. Can we even escape the concept of binarity?
On stage we meet four examples of clowns who negotiate the parameters of gender in their own world and vulnerability, consciously or unconsciously, astonished or narrow-minded. This is how they slip and slide through the continuum of gender.
"Clownfish" is inspired by Kim de L'Horizon, Paul B. Preciado, Kae Tempest and the daily life.
