I further argue that these three features of flop, interruption, and audience play are distinctively facilitated by Shakespeare in both text and performance which, in turn, demonstrates the potential of both clown and Shakespeare to not only disrupt theatrical conventions, but to imagine new relationships to social and political power structures. To this end, I ally the flop with Jack Halberstam’s sense of queer failure to investigate the relationship between Macbeth and 500 Clown Macbeth.

  • Infinita at the Peacock Theatre CULTURE THEATRE
    Infinita at the Peacock Theatre CULTURE THEATRE 2ND FEBRUARY 2016 MICHELLE KEEPENCE “The loss of the face can be the beginning of a great freedom,” says Hago Schüler, director and performer of Infinita, in a recent interview. He goes on to explain the power of masks for both the artist and the spectator in the productions created by the Familie Flöz, and more specifically of Infinita, brought to England as part of 2016’s London International Mime Festival. Infinita’s masked characters are a fascinating spectacle that proves both mesmerising and inexplicably disturbing. Their use of exaggerated movement and hyperbolic gesture quickly dismisses the necessity of speech in the exploration of the most basic of human concepts: life and death. We are presented with characters at the beginning and the end of their lives, through which certain parallels are created, most notably between the physical extremes demonstrated by both babies and the elderly. Their relationships, despite having substantially developed over time, remain fundamentally the same as they move into the final stages of their lives, all of them experiencing love and loss. A series of sketches depicting mournful tragedy in one instance, and clown-esque slapstick comedy in the next, catapult the audience between fits of laughter and the unavoidable urge to cry. The music of the piece is a key tool used to transport us between the two extremes and create contrasting atmospheres, as well as provoking differing interactions between the characters. Interaction with the audience is encouraged, as one scene sees two babies playing with a giant ball that is batted in and out of the crowd, a scene particularly appreciated by the younger members of the audience.
