"Boy Looking For Friends"

A family friendly theatrical solo clown show. Full of simple, touching poetry of great depth. Built on the smallest mask in the world – the red nose!

Boy dreams of becoming his pirate idol Jack Sparrow. Together with the bear Paddington, the crocodile Crock, he sets out on a floating suitcase on an adventurous journey through his deepest fears, overcoming a real and metaphorical ocean of loneliness. Show is a journey to a place beyond time and space, where everything becomes alive and real - including a plush toy, a floating suitcase and a broom that turns into a door.

The show is a family spectacle, for adults and children alike.

A list of VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS:

What exactly is loneliness?

And last but not least: Can we use a landline phone on the high seas?

"Boy" himself will answer these questions. This is an invitation on an amazing journey into his suitcase – a journey deep into your heart and imagination!
