A real-life travelling circus family from Belgium, performers D’Irque (acrobat), his wife Fien (pianist) and their two-year-old daughter, Whoopi, will be coming to Melbourne for the first time. They adopted their daughter Whoopi recently from Marseilles and she routinely tours the globe with her ‘carnie’ parents. Their show hearkens back to the slapstick of silent-era cinema. Inspired by Charlie Chaplin and the like, Oh Suivant! is a modern-day clowning farce: D’Irque does circus tricks – such as balancing atop stacked chairs – alongside Fien’s old-school piano accompaniment (a brilliant take on music hall scores). It runs from Tuesday January 15 – Sunday January 27 at the Arts Centre, and we have some passes to give away. To win, tell us why people should be scared of clowns.
