The Clown on the Fifth Floor
THURSDAY 25TH AUGUST AT 23:00 – TICKETS
The Clown on the Fifth Floor is a show that processes a tumultuous relationship with reality through music, visual art, dance, and poetry. It transports the audience to an isolated world balancing on the thin line between chaos and emptiness, past and present, truth and lies. We follow the main character The Clown, desperately chasing their own trail of breadcrumbs. Remembering, forgetting, and re-remembering that they are running in circles.
The Clown on the Fifth Floor personifies the trauma, the resistance, and the dream of freedom. With the goal of giving them a vessel that can be broken, or protected. With the show, Storm Dunder attempts to create safety for themself, other transpeople, and everyone who has ever asked themselves the question “Was I the hero, the villain, or just a child?”
Storm Dunder is a non-binary musicproducer, performing artist, songwriter and poet who creates art that embody the things they have spent their life trying to escape. They build momentary realities, sew bodies for the impalpable and use their art to channel the most free, fragile, brutal, glorious, and grotesque parts of their inner life.
