Blooming Out

Date: Friday, Aug 4 2017 - Saturday, Aug 5 2017
Venue: The Wardrobe Theatre
Price: £10

Nos Theatre’s clown show “explores in a light and comic way some of the most intriguing moments in the whole feminine universe. The fascination of beauty, the girly plays, the first time putting on make-up, the body’s development including its feminine parts, the arrival of the period, the first kiss, maternity, love, the demands and social taboos, work, the oppression and fear, happiness growing old; these are some of the many fascinating and scary themes that build the story of this plot.

Blooming Out uses only non-verbal language, “creating touching scenes of great power and beauty. A celebration of being female and feminine interpreted by two Brazilian clown women.”

“The actresses embrace the disparate themes of this universe, such as fragility, physical transformation and love; all this covered in a light, comic and poetic way. The piece does not use the verbal language, but solely of physical theatre and music. This peculiar clown technique allows the audience to experience in a direct way physical emotions of the theme presented. As well as giving the space for the audience to create their own interpretations according to their own life experiences.
