Discourse
As the curtain falls…
Sustainability in Clown and Festival Work
Panel discussion with presentations
Monday, 12/03/2012(6.30 pm)
Im KosmosTheater
Are festivals isolated events or do they possess a sustainability that can affect a continuous work of art?
Can the significant impact of a festival stimulate the art scene and create a new consciousness in terms of recognizing clowning as an art form?

Austrian Premiere
Without Words
With: Nola Rae
Director: John Mowat | Stage/Lighting Design: Matthew Ridout | Music: Peter West | Costumes: Alannah Small
Tyrants have a lot in common: They are generally outsiders, small in stature, and hungry to be noticed. Peppered with oblique references to short despots, Nola Rae’s wordless comic drama sees the clown follow a well-worn trail towards absolute power and absolute disaster.
A retreating army cook drags himself unsteadily through the mud. Alone and abandoned, he has no idea where he is going. He is just going.
A campaign tent lies in his path. He staggers straight through it.
He should have kept going, but something draws him back. There is something strange about this tent.... a bed, a greatcoat, the imperial bee symbol, a strange looking hat....
As he rummages, he finds he is no longer lost.
He finds himself rehearsing a new and dangerous role...
All he needs is murderous charisma, rustless iron will, and a cheese grater.
Referring obliquely to small dictators, all of whom start as outsiders, manage to gain power, and then wreak havoc, the clown is taken over by a desire to rule. We who could have stopped him don’t...and then won’t...and finally can’t.
It’s a black comedy on a serious subject. The fashioning of a dictator from a clown should not be possible...It’s too absurd...
The title refers to an embarrassing episode in Emperor Napoleon’s life, which he wanted to keep secret.
"This piece is endlessly inventive... high speed humour and marvellous characterisation."
OXFORD TIMES
Nola Rae
born in Sydney, has been living in London since 1963. After originally studying to be a ballet dancer, she switched to mime theater and began working with Marcel Marceau and Jango Edwards. In 1974 she founded the London Mime Theatre with Matthew Ridout, with whom she has been working ever since.
In 2000 she was inducted into the International Clown Hall of Fame (USA). In 2008 Nola Rae was awarded an M.B.E. by the Queen in her “New Year’s Honours List for services to drama and to mime”. She received a Total Theatre Lifetime Achievement Award and The Charlie Rivel Award for Clowning.
She combines mime, dance, comedy, and puppetry, making her one of the most extraordinary actresses of modern British theater. Her plays have been performed in over 67 countries so far.
