Finnish company Kallo Collective is joining this DYNAMO residency to work on their production – The Mews.

The Mews draws inspiration from a news agency helmed by clowns, where the world’s tumult is vividly projected from screens onto the theater stage and into the hearts of the audience. With a tragicomic approach, it invites viewers to explore the brighter aspects of our world. Through The Mews news studio, the clowns’ innocent and hopeful perspective unfolds, delivering a glimpse of a future filled with positivity and joy. Can we dare to believe that amidst the complexities of our world, the childlike wonder within us holds the key to hope?

Keywords: News, humor, life, clowns, reality, mews, hope, positivity, innocence
