August, Augusta and little Augustin A story about a family of clowns in which daddy August performs his tricks at Director Alonso's circus, mummy Augusta has her hands full of washing, doing the dishes and all the other chores that must be done before the day is over, and in which little Augustin calmly makes her entrance. Most of all, perhaps, it's a story about Augusta and her dream: to one day be a circus artist, and what happens when that day comes… A warm-hearted story, filled with laughter and excitement, about how you can if you only dare, about how dreams can come true, and how a clown child, even though she's small, can be the audience's favourite. Our play is especially intended for children aged 3 - 6 and everyone else who is prepared to be enraptured and enthralled. |

In this production we use table puppets that resemble Japanese bunraku puppets. Although they are worked on a table by visible puppeteers, they appear to live a life of their own. Their special design, allowing great freedom of movement and expression, was a precondition for the circus acts in the show. Their unique, highly advanced technology has been developed by Dockteaterverkstan ( The Puppet Theatre Workshop ). |

Puppets and set were designed and constructed by Anders Lindholm and Cecilia Billing, who can also style themselves script-writers, directors and puppeteers. The music in the show is recorded. It was performed by Jonas Eilert on sousaphone and banjo. |
