Theatre
Beyond the Ridiculous
Holly Stoppit and Beyond The Ridiculous return with this “celebration of the human condition”.
Beyond The Ridiculous perform ‘Fooling’, a solo improvisation form where the fools use their own real-life stories, feelings and thoughts as source material, choosing from a range of performance techniques, including storytelling, character-work, clowning, physical theatre, movement and live music to create audaciously authentic, gob-smackingly resonant, instant theatre.
Audience reaction:
“I felt like people had gone inside my brain and acted it out to make me feel better and now I love everybody again.”
“Violently hilarious, insightful, meandering journey through the funniest, lightest, darkest corners of the deranged comedic mind.”
“A lot of joy. Amazing, REAL engaging theatre. We’re talking about what theatre sets out to do. The origins of theatre. Untranslated, original theatre.”
“There wasn’t a moment that wasn’t just right.”
“Both incredibly funny and incredibly moving.”
Huffington Post
