Are you at home? You’re 1 year old or a 100 years old?
CLOWN ME IN decided to share games you can play alone or with your family at home to keep a good physical and psychological routine.

For these videos, we collaborated with KAFA Association to create 5 videos giving people at home ideas that are safe to do at home with the family.

Now share it and play it. But most importantly, GET OFF THE SCREEN and enjoy your time

Clowning Through the Revolution!

What a time to be a clown! We’ve been trying really hard to keep up with our politicians since October 17th, but they’re really proving to be the ultimate competition.

Due to the circumstances, we took a short break between October and November to be on the streets with everyone else, marching in the protests and performing for people in the streets (it’s what we do best, after all!), as well as helping keep the human chain in line!

We also gave a free workshop, led by Giovanni Fusetti, which was open to any caring citizen wishing to explore the connection between the theatre and political, social and environmental action, both on an intellectual level and in an experimental, playful way. The workshop was a great success, and the number of people wanting to sign up made us realise how much we can do to help, in our own way! We’ll be utilising our new space over the course of the new year to host free, monthly, open workshops and other sessions to help people deal with the stress of the current situation, so keep an eye out on our social media channels to find out when they’ll be happening!
