Hiding Behind the Mask: Jesters, Jokers & Clowns

Rosemary George | with C ARTS

Digital, Film, Visual Arts, Workshops & Classes

An intriguing, soul-searching masterclass into the personas of jesters, jokers, and clowns, through the lens of the theatrical mask. From Greek trickster gods to Japanese Noh Theatre, commedia dell’arte and opera to slapstick and cartoons, join Professor Rosemary George on a rollercoaster through the joys and sorrows, comedies and tragedies of life, which probes hidden identities in human behaviour. ‘The professor’s range and extent of research is clearly apparent’ (EdinburghGuide.com). ‘Brilliantly and eloquently written... Thoughtful... Extraordinarily well-researched’ (Audience review). ‘Quite unique... Informative and fun’ (Audience review). ‘Truly thoughtful, educational’ (Audience review).

Created and Performed by | Rosemary George
