Pierrot

A lamentation on naivete, moonlight and the eternal clown.

Theatre Performance by Martelle Simon-Green

27 October - 29 October

This project is supported by Backbone through Pilot Artist in Residency program, made possible through the support of the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.

Presented in partnership with Fringe Brisbane.

Dive into the moonlight, lament in your longing, and laugh through loneliness at Pierrot; an ode to the infamous eternal clown. Transcending hundreds of years of tradition, Pierrot reimagines this historical popular culture staple through three contemporary interpretations. Alongside his silk collar, pantomimic humour, and painting his face with moonlight, it is Pierrot’s unworldly naivete that has stood the test of time. Through Pierrot, he is brought back to life and given a voice thrice over, with original texts performed by three local performing artists, each of whom change him evermore. A man in love with the moon, interpreted by three performers, Pierrot is a lovelorn lamentation on naivete, moonlight and the clown who never dies.

I acknowledge that I live and work on stolen land. I pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal Land.
