Clowning, an art form that started centuries ago, has become a fond art form for many theatre makers in Bengaluru. With growing clowning pieces for children and adults, PB Theatre has come up with a new play titled Hang-in-There , to be performed at Bangalore International Centre (BIC), Domlur, on July 4, at 7 p.m.
The piece is a theatrical clowning show that talks about the world of a grumpy clown’s boutique and what happens when a Kathak clown dances right into it as a customer. It talks about women’s bodies and how their body shapes make them conscious of what they wear. It makes a statement on the ideal body type which also has to do with how the fashion design industry moulds everyone’s perception about clothing.
