Somewhere, Maybe Here was my first unexpected foray into clown. A performance that emerged in fits and bursts between 2015 and 2022: an exploration of connection and play through unexpected encounters. It asked the question: what can happen when we are really here with one another?

 

The piece revolves around a 27-minute silent film following a fallen angel arriving to a strange city: Berlin. After a psychogeography research process identifying places we resonated with and wanted to play in in the city, we filmed the angel’s live, unplanned encounters with the people there.

​

The film embedded itself into a performance: with two personas/clowns arriving to a place to share this angel film with a live audience, accompanied by live piano. We filmed the clowns arriving in this place: an echo of the angel. You can see the arrival to Eibar in the Basque Country in 2019, below.
