Heritage Theatre :) Fool’s Gambit (a live theatre experiment in clown and improv)

Two nights only: May 14 & 15 at 7:30pm (doors 7pm) · 60 minutes

What happens when four physical theatre veterans are set loose in a studio to make the most playful improvised hour they can?

Aaron 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.

A live camera joins the game—becoming character, scene partner, even set. Structure dissolves. Comedic risk-taking takes over. The only rule: keep playing.

Who wins? Who loses? Who cares? The joke is always on us.

Driven 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.

Witness a gleefully unhinged experiment in avant-garde theatre.
