Bing og Bang – SvaneSang* (Bing and Bang – Swansong)
In "Bing og Bang – SvaneSang"* ("Bing and Bang – Swansong") we follow the two lonely neighbours Gudrun Bing and Gerd Bang, who have become friends. They have moved in together to save on electricity costs. One morning a bird hits the window and falls dead on the porch. This is the first time Bing and Band experience death so close.

In "Bing og Bang – SvaneSang"* ("Bing and Bang – Swansong") the company has chosen the absurd universe of the clown to touch an important and difficult issue, and at the same time weaves in a story of a fragile friendship in trouble. It is difficult to know where the laughter ends and the tears begin. Or was it the other way around?
The troupe uses classic clown techniques, integrating them with modern aesthetics with video design and new music.
Target audience: Children in company with adults.
