A man waits with his trunk for a train that never stops.
The weather gets bad.
Each night, the solo performer learns the language of the audience in order to communicate with them. Inspired by classic clowns like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, the bleakly comic ambiance of Samuel Beckett and the visual palette of 20th century immigration. INCLEMENT WEATHER is a comic and charming exploration of waiting, communication, “here” versus “there” and the beauty in between.
45 min solo clown performance

performed by Nicolas Di Gaetano

Available for touring to places where any language in the world is spoken, Inclement Weather works best in a traditional proscenium set up. Book with Countries Shaped Like Stars for a full Mi Casa evening.
