Clowning - 5-10 years

What kind of humor can you use anywhere, anytime and to amuse anyone? This clown duo makes children and adults burst out laughing using basic human, physical humor. Svensson and Rud use laughter as a tool to release trapped emotions such as fear and anger. In the play, children from 5 to 10 years and their families want a sense of belonging through feeling something good together. Together with the children, they solve various challenges, fail and try again, to create an experience where everyone is left with a feeling of having been in the moment with others. During the week's stay at Seanse, Svensson and Rud worked on completing the performance, leading up to the premiere in a South Sudanese refugee camp the following Monday.
