Ferdinand Fool-Chand
A Clown Adventure About Being Truly You for Everyone!
Performers & Facilitators
Embrace the silly side of life and join us for a clown show and playshop where speaking in gibberish is expected and encouraged. Come by yourself, with your friends or with your niece, nephew or child. All ages welcome.
11 am | Ferdinand Fool-Chand | Clown Show | English, Hindi and Gibberish | 30 mins | Children and Families
Ferdinand Fool-Chand, the clown play, is an adaptation of a children’s story by American author Munro Leaf, called Ferdinand the Bull. Ferdinand is a gentle, young clown bull who instead of playing rough with his fellow young bulls, likes to sit and smell roses all day. However, when he grows up, he’s forced into a bullfight. This story is about staying true to who you are and trusting the world will always make space for your uniqueness and idiosyncrasies even though it may not seem possible.
11:40 am | Clown Playshop | 1 hour | All Ages
The Playshop is an opportunity for all the big and small children in the audience to play with the clowns through some fun improvisational games that will bring your silly out!
In collaboration with Purple Mangoes
