Springtime

Merel Kamp (NL)
An over the top romantic clown comedy in the style of a traditional silent movie.

A man and a woman are suspended from rusty steel springs. They are limited in their freedom of movement, but within the limits the possibilities are limitless…  

The cliché about the relations between men and women is built up to a tragicomic love story: from the moment they meet, till the inevitable “and they lived happily ever after”.  

All within the restraints and possibilities of their bouncy suspension. Springtime is a playful visual show without words for audiences of all ages.  

Duration: 20 min.
