The coat

Two clowns in their own special way, here tell the history about Akakij Akakijevitj and his amazing coat that disappeared.
In a coat, big as a house, where the clowns go sliding through the sleeves, we meet Akakij who loves his favorite letters,
the tailor Petrovitj with his huge spools of threads and the public officials that never waste a chanse to tease the poor Akakij,
and at last, but none the less, the very important person.
This is a play about loneliness, where the clown becomes the obvious image for the little man.

Gogols story The Coat has been described as the most influential of all russian stories. We have all crawled out of Gogols coat, said Dostojevskij about his story, a phrase that the clown takes literally... Gogols novel is a masterpiece on alienation, on the vulnerable individual, but also on the uncompromising hope. When Akakij Akakijevitj in a scene bursts out to his tormentors: but I am your brother, you can here see the outline drawing of the clown, the misunderstood figure that everyone laughes at but that reflects human exposure and love in its purest form.

Daddy Karlo

Daddy Karlo has a doll.
But it is not an ordinary doll - it is alive.
It follows him everywhere and helps him
when he gets in trouble.

They laugh together when something fun happens.
Daddy Karlo performs with his doll in streets
and on squares.
But the doll doesn«t always do
what Daddy Karlo wishes.
Most of all the doll wants to dance and sometimes
he disappeares and Daddy Karlo has to look for him.

The flower

A show where mime, clowning and dancing
is mixed in a unique dance-pantomime.

A flower is thrown up on the stage after clown-show.
The clown wants to give the flower
to the first person he meets.
But to give a flower away is not that easy.

The clown balance - as we all do - between
dreams and hope on the thin cord
that is called reality.
