What would happen if, instead of starting clown school in Paris, you accidentally ended up following a group of Syrian Refugees on their journey to seek asylum in Europe? How would your experience be different from theirs?

Dreamgirl is an immersive experience of Norwegian filmmaker and clown Karen Houge’s real-life experience following refugees in her mid 20s through storytelling, play, clown, interaction… and a bit of Lego.

‘Profound, playful and compelling’ * (InReviewOnline.com). ‘Renewed hope for humanity’ **** (MustSeeTheatre.com).

Age Guidance: 12+
