Ericthe Fred

ErictheFred is an evocative, delightful and highly structured technical show, combining twisted classical clowning, exquisite film, and stunning original music. This timeless dark comedy is a solid display of clowning and physical theatre skill.

An enraged and shamed performer tears off his costume, never to perform again. At this pivotal juncture, his very own agent provocateur kicks in, fiendishly and hilariously provoking him to dream, to remember, to fall in love, to dare, to carry on… or to end it all.

The audience is transported to a strange, unnervingly familiar world where the clown’s innermost thoughts manifest themselves. In this acrobatic tour de force, ErictheFred is tugged from one extreme to the other, running the gamut of human emotions.
