Introducing…Théâtre Thump!

Launching their website and a whole lot more besides, comes Théâtre Thump! - an uprising from Berlin, Germany, featuring the clowns Oliver Borowski (an old friend from Gatstad and Slaapstad) and Carole Deborde (from France who’s a really cool chick and almost beat me at badminton during the world cup new year’s eve tourney…but didn’t.  Hah!).

Soon relocating to Toulouse, but based everywhere European, with the world as their stage, and hopefully to come visit us here in good ole SA, they describe their work as such:

With a physical theatre orientation, sometimes with the play of the mask, and sometimes with the play of the charlatan, but always with the clown, couched in a narration, and preferably with live music, are the foundations of our original performances. Our short format is set for both the street as well as small OFF- Theatres.

Welcome to the Conspiracy…Ssh!  Don’t say a word…tell a soul…
