One building, five apartments , six characters. The audience is watching them live their conventional lives in a dark, claustrophobic setting, with their fears, obsessions and loneliness. Through the dark rooms of CLOWN'S HOUSES the loneliness of the modern man is displayed; prison-like houses, people trapped into their routines and habits, distant from their dreams. In CLOWN'S HOUSES you will find a combination of different puppetry techniques such as marionettes, top table puppets, object and shadow theatre. The two puppeteers animate puppets and objects, without being obvious to the public while the realism of the motion, the scenic world and different lighting conditions complement the dark sensation of the play.
