Ministry of Clown was founded by Ricardo Madrigal and Lauren Bryant, both Fourth Monkey Actor Training Company graduates. Using games inspired by clowning, Ministry of Clown devises original pieces that are inspired by classical plays and yet relevant to modern-day audiences. We are fortunate to collaborate with other Fourth Monkey graduates from all backgrounds. In this specific production for FesTeLOff, most creatives are from Spain.

Brief Description

Historical and social events have always had an impact on the development of theatre as theatre has reflected these events both in the written word and on stage. Staging requirements have meant that the spaces where plays are performed have had to be adapted to ensure that actor/audience communication is effective.
