Trouble with Tinder? Unlucky in love? Sick of swiping? Hildegaard’s Dating Service & Matchmaking Agency is here for you! And for our lonely Clown. Go on a journey of self-discovery with Clown as she meets potential lovers on the bumpy road to finding love.
All ages, groups, orientations, families are welcome to celebrate the ridiculous and find pleasure in the everyday with I Made This For You.
Starring queer theater artist Carmen Nikae, the Clown does not exist without the Pooblic (the audience) with whom they interact directly. The silent film elements, projected on the back wall and created exclusively by Nikae who plays all the characters, show us what’s happening simultaneously in a different location while we see the live clown navigate an all too human dilemma.
Directed by Alyson Schacherer, this story of a lonely Clown searching for connection presents issues of queerness, gender, vulnerability and resilience revealing that deep seriousness and deep playfulness are in fact closely related.
