Clowns Gift

location: L

time scedule: 14.00 / 15.30

As a clown and an actor, Arno has been making clown theatre from 1985 in which he distinguishes himself from the traditional clown's image with subtle and poetic humour. The appreciation for this is evident from the favourable critiques published by the international press.

There is a big present on the stage. A dignified, bald gentleman with a red tuft of hair plays music. And there is another clown, not just a regular one but a fun one! Before the gift is unpacked, there's time for a lot of clown jokes with a musical garbage can, a living broom, with silent drums, the biggest baby, the most beautiful bubble in the world, opera and so much more... And the clown gift? We are happy to unpack it for you with an endearing smile to a guffaw.

Together they are looking for the "Golden Egg". Women and children have nothing to fear from the duo. They even dance a little if you give them a kiss on the beak. But they want nothing to do with men, who always act like peacocks.

The Little Clown

location: walk act

time scedule: 13.00 / 14.15 / 15.30

type: (street) theatre - animation

Leather trousers, white shirt, bow tie and hat. Suitcase in his hand. With an enormity of intensity he moves very carefully, shyly, he sometimes puts a step foreward and then back again. He goes his own way, and meets a lot...
The Little Clown is brilliantly quiet. Silently he approaches his audience, observes them and watches, watches, and watches. Someone gives him candy, something to drink, or tells him sweet words. Or just watches him. Also in that case he will react adequately. Not too big, just enough. Sometimes people cannot get enough of his gaze and just watch his watching. As strong as iron, but at the same time as fragile as glass. The Little Clown can be found at various open-air happenings, such as street festivals, fairs, shopping areas et cetera. But the Little Clown is also a happy choice for livening up staff parties, galas, exhibitions, receptions and so on. Of course he is also available for special assignments. In a time of fast television series, spectacular performances and dazzling shows, who still dares to present the small, vulnerable act of the Little Clown?

The Little Clown will perform solely for adults.

With his fountain pen he draws a humorous caricature on a beer mat within minutes. He works so fast that people don’t even notice that there is something going on, until that moment when Harold takes the beer mat from his old school drawing box and presents them their own caricature as a gift. It always puts a big smile on both faces, the artists and the person on the beer mat as well.
