About Old God
Old God is a foppish, irreverent oracle — a singer of doom, a weaver of myth, a being so old they have forgotten their own name. Dressed in beautiful costuming and framed by a painted canvas backdrop and fancy golden foot lights, this white face clown seems to have walked out of the theatre houses of the eighteen-hundreds. Pantomime is performed alongside improvisational feats of language as Old God buries the audience beneath a sea of imagery, spinning wildly in topic but elegantly in body.
Why see this show?
A genuinely singular performer who blends classical clowning with improvised language into something hard to categorise and impossible to look away from. Roxyboxy is the right size for this kind of intimate, strange spectacle.
