Event Description

75 minutes | Gibberish | Suitable for Ages 15+ Hang-in-There! is a theatrical clowning show that talks about the nose-sense world of a grumpy clown’s boutique and what happens when a Kathak clown dances right into it as a customer. It talks about women’s bodies and how their body shapes make them conscious of what they wear. It makes a statement on the so-called ideal body type which also has to do with how the fashion designing industry moulds everyone’s perception about clothing. So, witness the new trend setters in town! Synopsis In the vibrant world of Hang-in-There!, audiences are introduced to an elegant Owner-clown, whose passion for fashion drives her to create unique designs that defy convention. When the graceful Kathak-clown enters her shop seeking the perfect outfit for her performance, their encounter sets off a chain of hilarious misadventures. As the Owner-clown showcases her quirky designs, the Kathak-clown struggles with insecurities about her body image, leading to a series of comical fights and follies! With a whistle in hand and a playful demeanor, the referee-clown enters to conduct a fight between them but soon realizes that she made a huge mistake when the other two clowns, instead of fighting, team up and unleash their mischief on the referee clown. This is likely done with cunning and strategy to prevent her from doing her job, which forces her to leave the space in a huff! However, amidst the chaos, a heartwarming friendship begins to blossom between the two clowns, as they learn to embrace each other’s quirks and celebrate the joy of living in the moment. In a whirlwind of excitement and celebration, the fashion show unfolds, with all the clowns captivating the audience with their graceful movements and mischief-filled smiles. As the models strut down the catwalk in the Owner-clown’s quirky creations, the boutique shop is transformed into a dazzling spectacle of style and creativity when the audience is also invited to try out the designs! Hang-in-There! taps on the themes of ‘Friendship’, ‘Self-acceptance’ and ‘Pursuing one’s dreams’ woven throughout the story. The Kathak-clown’s struggles with body image insecurities highlight the importance of self-acceptance and learning to embrace oneself, flaws and all. Meanwhile, the Owner-clown’s passion for fashion and her determination to create unique designs reflect the theme of pursuing one’s dreams despite obstacles or setbacks. Hang-in-There! is not just a play; it’s an immersive journey into the world of laughter, friendship, and fashion. With its unique blend of physical comedy, audience engagement, and thought-provoking themes, the play promises an unforgettable experience for all. From the uproarious antics of the clowns to the dazzling spectacle of the fashion show, each moment is infused with energy, creativity, and heart. So come join us for an evening of fun, reflection, and sheer entertainment. Let’s hang in there together and discover the magic that lies within the joy of living in the moment.
