Shakespeare x 5

Hand Theatre • Professional company

60 minutes•Playground 1
Surprised by the audience and completely unprepared, two clowns grab the only story everyone knows: Romeo and Juliet. What begins as a funny mission to be understood soon turns into a wild whirlwind of imagination. You don't just watch, you become part of the chaos. This high-speed scramble is a real display of physical skill. But as the laughter peaks, the fun turns into a fierce rebellion – the one that lives inside us all. It's funny until it's not. A provocative, heart-wrenching finale that asks what remains among the ruins. Fearless, absurd and unforgettable.
