THE HOLLOW
A Clown Play
Created and Directed by Michael Kennard
Featuring a Cast of 15 Clowns
March 11 - April 9 at the Berkeley Street Theatre
In
THE HOLLOW, a clown play of epic
proportions, the classic tale of warring countries is elevated to the
highest order. For fifty years the Bouffon children of the devil - the
Rabiccannos - have been battling the Clown children of god - the Lebarians
- for a secret cave known as The Hollow.
While the royal matriarchs struggle for peace and unity, their families,
kingdoms and countries are torn apart by greed and grudges. Who better
than Clowns to explain the absurdity of war?
The Bouffon uses physicality to parody. Joey and Auguste Clowns use
hierarchy to explore all sides of the ego. THE
HOLLOW is a dark comedic tale that brings together two styles
of physical theatre in a single story.
Michael Kennard is one half of, along with
John Turner, Canada's famous clown duo Mump + Smoot.
Mump + Smoot have created, performed and toured their own brand of horror
humour across Canada and the United States. While performing in Israel
they taught a clown workshop at the University of Tel Aviv to a class made
up of both Palestinians and Israelis. Michael has also directed several
physical based shows including Fou, Penitentiary of Love, Burnt
Marshmallows Stuck, and Mamakin in Toronto; A Christmas Carol, The Hobbit,
and The Wizard of Oz at The Globe Theatre in Regina; and at both The
Second City locations in Toronto and Chicago. THE
HOLLOW is Michael's debut as a solo creator, director and
producer.
