The Void

10 Jan - 11 Jan
We have all heard of “spiritual awakenings” but have you ever seen one LIVE, in front of your very own eyes?

THE VOID is an absurd clown show about meditation and spiritual enlightenment. Using the humour and irony of bouffon and clowning, the piece pokes fun at ‘new age’ spirituality and the hypocrisy that exists within it.

Enlightenment and laughter guaranteed.

THE VOID was nominated for The Funny Bones Award for Best Comedy and Best Emerging Artist Award at Stockholm Fringe.

Audience Reviews:

“A journey into the abyss with you hand head by a wonderful clown.”
-Scene + Heard

“It was great fun and play. And an important message that needs to be told. So much fake and ego in the “spiritual” world. Yes. Play this all over the globe.”
-Norway Clown Festival

“I have never seen a show like it. Mind bending, absurd, and just love it so much.
-Brighton Fringe

“It was so amazing and I feel so enlightened – it is exactly what I needed today.”
-STOFF

Three women. Three fools. One theatre company running Amok.
Theatre Amok is a physical theatre company founded at École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq in 2022. Blending in the theatrical mediums of clowning, bouffon and theatre of the absurd, our intention is to explore the human experience with curiosity and demonstrate the absurdity in our everyday lives and societal structures.
Annie Lockerbie Newton (Canada) and Tone Nybø (Norway), co-founders of the company, collaborate with Charlotte O’Reilly (Ireland) on Amok’s second project, ‘THE VOID’, to create an internationally diverse team wherein each member brings a plethora of skills and expertise.
THE VOID was created with the support of SALT Art and Music in Norway, La Chapêlmêle in France, Scene + Heard Festival and made possible with funding from FFUK Norway.
