"Slava’s Snowshow is to clowning what Cirque du Soleil is to circus. Slava’s Snowshow is as theatrical as it is simple, as involving as it is inspiring.” - Variety, USA
Slava Polunin created his Snowshow following his sensational performance as part of Cirque du Soleil’s Alegria, drawing on the influence of artists such as Charlie Chaplin, Marcel Marceau and Leonid Engibarov. He and his company of clowns have taken clowning out of the world of circus, and brought it into the theater. SLAVA’S SNOWSHOW is a fusion of traditional and contemporary theatrical clowning arts, and a beautifully crafted visual spectacle.
The show brilliantly creates a world of wonderment and fantasy that transports the audience to a joyous dream-like place, where a bed becomes a boat in a storm-tossed sea; a woman is wrapped in cellophane
and becomes flowers in a vase; a child walks in amazement inside a bubble; SLAVA boards a train and then becomes the train, his chimney-pot hat billowing smoke; and a web of unspun cotton envelopes the audience. The stunning finale sees a letter turn into snowflakes, and the flakes turn into a snowstorm, which whirls around the auditorium, leaving the audience ankle-deep in snow.
This actually a performance I would love to see myself. The way this performance is described just really gets you wondering what it's all about. This is especially weird for me because I don't like people being dressed up nor clowns (don't laugh - childhood taunting haha) but you can just see so much effort and thought has gone into these costumes and performances. It really looks spectacular and I would be delighted to send 2 of my lucky readers and a 1+ of their choice to see the show!
You really must take a look at their youtube trailer video below - It just looks fantastic!!
As I am running a children's family competition I think it's time to give away something to the adults here so I have 2 x double passes for 2 lucky readers for the Wednesday 17th July show at 7:30pm, valued at $158 each double pass!!
