SUMMARY:Heritage Theatre :) Fool's Gambit (a live theatre experiment in clown and improv)
DESCRIPTION:Two nights only: May 14 & 15 at 7:30pm (doors 7pm) · 60 minutes \nWhat happens when four physical theatre veterans are set loose in a studio to make the most playful improvised hour they can? \nAaron Malkin and Alastair Knowles (James & Jamesy)\, Nayana Fielkov (Ragmop Theatre)\, and Chloe Ziner (Mind of a Snail Puppet Co.) bring international touring credits and critical acclaim to a live\, unscripted experiment in clown and improv. \nA live camera joins the game—becoming character\, scene partner\, even set. Structure dissolves. Comedic risk-taking takes over. The only rule: keep playing. \nWho wins? Who loses? Who cares? The joke is always on us. \nDriven by a relentless pursuit of play—from the blink of an eye to the swing of a chandelier—these four performers chase the absurd wherever it hides. \nWitness a gleefully unhinged experiment in avant-garde theatre.
