Slava Polunin is a 56 year old Russian clown who makes magic happen in theatres across the planet.
His stage world is an indeterminate snowscape in which his innocent and bewildered clowns wander and wonder: playing, dreaming, worrying, making friends....trying to keep the snow swept. It is a funny, sad, quirky, confusing, sometimes frightening and frequently beautiful world.
To spend two hours in a theatre with Slava is to be five years old again. You leave full of joy - and probably with your pockets full of paper snow.
'This is the single most beautiful thing I have ever seen in a theatre in my life' - Simon Callow.
