Le Cirque Du Paradis - by Noel Macken

Le Cirque du Paradis is indeed a parody. The play is set in a circus after a new Circus Master has taken over and wants to impose radical reforms on the circus all in the name of “Modernization”. The two main characters in the play are two clowns; Bobol and Blabla. Bobol is sucked in by the charisma and power of the Circus Master and soon ends up a middle manager espousing the New Circus dogma, “Circusism”. Either you are part of the Circotic Circus or you are not.

Blabla is determined to survive. In the infamous words of Blabla, “this play is palpably absurd.”

Meet the author and performer, Noel Macken, in our brief interview: Launching the Pre-Fringe Radio Play Podcast series.
