Glob – Underbelly McEwan Hall

Let two lovable creatures take you into an enchanted world of glowing orbs, sounds, and movement. With Glob, Les Foutoukours created a wonderfully fantastical show for the entire family.

Two wordless clowns find themselves in an unknown place and explore it with a childlike curiosity. The space around them keeps changing – lamps turn on and off, new objects they can play with are revealed and they get to know and tease each other. Blending Acrobatics, Music, Juggling, Diabolo and Tap dance, this is a circus adventure for anyone looking to get out of the Fringe chaos and just breathe for a moment. The Acrobatic moments are very impressive and it left us wanting more.  With precise movement and lots of physical comedy, the performers Rémi Jaques and Jean-Félix Bélanger create a wholesome show of visual poetry. The characters are playful and their relationship with each other and with the audience grows throughout the show. But no need to be scared, audience interaction is minimal – they are attentive and respond to what‘s going on in the audience, but nobody is pressured to be part of the show.

Glob  is a show for lovers of Slavas Snow Show and poetic clowning but can surely be enjoyed by everyone, whether you’re familiar with the genre or have never been to a theatre show before. If you’re looking for a show that transcends languages and generations, something that enchants children and adults alike, is gentle and accessible, then this is the show for you.
