Eminent Australian director Clint Bolster from Homunculus Theatre Company teams up with Artistic Director Shiona Carson from Shakespeare4All in an original Commedia dell’arte piece that breaks boundaries for Hong Kong people through the craft of giggles and gaffs! It is an interactive performance to demonstrate the essential conventions of traditional Italian commedia dated as far back as the 16th century as well as comic and mask performance. The focus of the show explores the ways these comic traditions continue to engage audiences.
Clint Bolster began his stage career in Queensland, Australia, where he was born and raised, but his reputation for extraordinary talent in relishing and inspiring audience across Australia and overseas for the past 15 years brought him the highest acclaim. Specialising in Commedia Dell’Arte, traditional and contemporary clowning, mask, physical comedy, non-verbal communication and mime, slapstick and stage combat, absurdism and physical theatre and circus, Homunculus’ vision is to share the human beauty, humour and power of these theatrical styles with everyone, but especially young people.
The actors skillfully involve the audience, improvising and interacting throughout. The performance is comprised of separate yet interlinked routines that explore different characters and situations throughout the history of the theatre - looking at both the everyday and the absurd. The scenes build to a great celebration of life! It promises to be exhilarating and mesmerizing for audiences of all ages.
