The Long Pigs
These clowns take the horror stakes to new heights.
Overview
While for some clowns are the stuff of nightmares, the black-nosed trio in The Long Pigs take the horror stakes to new heights, leaving their red-nosed cousins quite literally for dead.
In this debut production from physical theatre group We3 (Clare Bartholomew from Die Roten Punkte, Derek Ives-Plunkett and Nicci Wilks), playing as part of the Sydney Festival, the darkest side of human nature is explored. Inspired in equal parts by the Three Stooges, Samuel Beckett and George Orwell, the performance mixes traditional moments of carnivalesque buffoonery and slapstick with the grim and gruesome.
An eerie soundtrack and dim lighting set the scene for suspense, as the murderous gang begins to turn in on itself in a fatal and funny climax.
