A Nose of Her Own
Clowning was never so sexy. Fourteen fabulous fractious funny females came
together
in a celebration of everything that's
ridiculous about life and the fairer sex.
Two of Australia's top women performers joined with a gang from the
local WOW Women's circus to present a world premier of a new work.
Opening with a chaotic 'Charivari' In which a dozen or so clowns take over the stage and
the auditorium, the show moves into itıs centre piece which is a duet for Two clowns and
a Baby Grand Piano. This was followed by the Grand finale a surreal
reinvention in which the clowns do their version of a Water Ballet a la Esther
Williams.
The show drew on elements of vaudeville, circus and popular
performance while also accessing the atmospheric space and the marvelous balconies of
the
beautiful Bruce Gordon Theatre.
