Spiral
Klovnens klagemur* (The Wailing Wall of the Clown)
In Spiral - Klovnens klagemur* (Spiral – The Wailing Wall of the Clown) produced by Boa Scenekunst the audience meets a temperamental character who is born with his skis on and who embarks on a journey on ice in his life.
Spiral follows him in the meeting with roles and ideals others have put upon him, and with the appetite for life and twisted ideas of the clown, he has a tendency to stretch the limits a bit too far. Through the complicated spiral of his life, he tries to find a balance between chaos and control.
