Ariel Efraim Ashbel and Friends: MY KINGDOM FOR A JOKE
Kampnagel - K2
Recommended from 16 years.Triggers/sensory stimuli: strobe effects and fog, interaction with the audience. Jokes deal with topics such as racism, anti-Semitism, misogyny, and sexism.
MY KINGDOM FOR A JOKE explores entertainment and performance in ironic times. Ariel Efraim Ashbel and friends seek sincere joy and humour as acts of community, echoing Richard III’s desperate cry for a horse with their call for a joke to redeem the stage. Through improvisation, clowning, and stand-up, Thelma Buabeng, Jessica Gadani, Colin Hacklander, and Tatiana Saphir reveal vulnerability and contradiction, showing that by taking jokes seriously, people might truly see each other and share a bit of reality.
