SLAVA’S SNOWSHOW
Russia
Undoubtedly the highlight of the 2009 Taranaki International Festival
of the Arts, SLAVA’S SNOWSHOW will transform the TSB Showplace
into a wintry wonderland of escapism oozing ‘olde worlde’ charm,
magical intrigue and a place where the audience can recapture their
childhood hopes and dreams.
One of the world’s busiest and most
beloved of clown’s, and a native
of Russia, Slava Polunin, transports his audience into an enchanting world
of falling snow, fog and bubbles in his tragicomic spectacle.
Slava started
performing as a clown 20 years ago and has expanded the performance
beyond expected comic fare. Slava’s clowns portray a wide-array of
emotions and the audience doesn’t just merely watch the show, they
get involved.
The lyrically beautiful, Olivier Award-winning theatrical
experience melds the unbridled hilarity and unexpected poignancy of clowning
with awe-inspiring
imagery, whimsical music and amusement park thrills. This unforgettable
event culminates in a blinding, heart-stopping snowstorm that engulfs
the entire
audience.
“ An unmistakably unique, unmissable and comedy masterpiece…” The
