Moments from the first performance of the play in April
While the complexity of his plays and use of language is legendary, many people often fear reading Shakespeare. Actor and director, Alistar Bennis, seems to be an exception. His upcoming performance, Seize Her, The Clown, will take on the play Julius Caesar through the art of clowning.
“The play stayed with me through school. So, when inspiration struck during one of our jam sessions, we decided to take it up,” says Bennis, a professional clown artist and actor. He recalls watching theatre maker Rajat Kapoor’s take on the four great plays of the bard through clowning in 2017. “It turned me towards clowning as an art form. I decided to pursue it with a course at the Helikos University in Padua, Italy,” he recalls.
