Freedom Prison Week 13. - 18. maj
I Freedom Prison Week formåede ensemblerne at tiltrække lige godt 2700 tilskuere til de daglige forestillinger!
Vi havde besøg af turister fra Holland og Tyskland, der afbrød deres besøg i Aarhus, for at tilbringe en dag i selskab med de dygtige artister. Der var skoleklasser, gymnasieklasser og konferencegæster fra Fængslet. En stor del af publikummerne skulle egentlig bare lige se Fængslet, og kiggede vantro på os, når vi fortalte dem, at der var gratis forestillinger hele ugen. De gik derfra med en positiv overraskelse.
Freedom Prison Show 20. & 21. maj
Til Freedom Prison Show var der d. 20. ca. 2000 publikummer og d. 21. ca. 1000.
Den første del af aftenen fra kl. 20 - 21.30 var en oplevelsesrundtur på forskellige lokationer af fængslet. Lørdag d. 20. var køerne næsten for lange, men heldigvis havde vi også sørget for underholdning til, de der stod i kø.
D. 21. var køerne knap så lange, og der var god tid til at få det hele med.
Det store show på den 20 x 8 meter store scene fra kl. 21.30 var forrygende begge aftener, og artisterne høstede store bifald og publikum fik én på opleveren!
Det blev, som lovet, stort og spektakulært!

TMYT
Our performance will use a mix of Physical Theatre, Soundscaping, and Text to tackle the theme of Freedom Prision.
The performance is highly influenced by the work of Brecht, Boal, and Grotowski (poor theatre). Through our work we strive to provoke some form of rational self-reflection and a critical view of the action on the stage. We want to educate, make people think, reflect, and aspire to make positive changes in their lives and the lives around them.
THE CLOWN COMPANY
The Clown Company uses clowning, but a little differently than what you see in the circus. We use a more physical form, as the clowns are only able to speak gibberish. Instead they communicate using body language, miming, dancing, acrobatics etc. They are very childlike and very emotional, so the plays can be anything from comical to sad.
