Clown Me IN : October 2015

UN Habitat Lebanon has commissioned us ( the Clown Me In group) to perform in different public schools in Lebanon (supported by the ministry of Culture) - throughout the month of October and November 2015.

The touring performance is specifically tailored to tackle the hand-washing and hygiene theme.

Sadly, this year, hygiene is one of the most important themes in Lebanon and specially among kids who are ( like everyone else) being exposed to all sorts of bacteria and skin diseases because of the excess of garbage on our streets and under our bridges.

We are very humbled and thrilled to have been given this task. The clowns are having a lot of fun with the kids, laughing, playing, creating, dreaming and sharing precious moments.

Clown Me In performances aim to make audiences laugh, they're simple and soulful but also shed a light on social and cultural issues.

Here we are, two and half months post garbage crisis and nothing has changed. Except of course the piles of garbage that are at least 2m long now, the smell of sewage and garbage that is duplicating with every breeze and the new kinds of respiratory and skin diseases that are doing the tour of the country, visiting every house and every school.

With my group Clown Me In, we decided to shift our clown attacks to a more specified ones about this garbage situation. We've joined the street movement and we posted some clown video actions on Facebook.

We filmed them in half a day and edited them really quickly. They're less than 1min long each and carry all the anger and absurdity of the situation -

They are a clown reaction to an absurd situation!!!!!!

To our surprise the videos went viral and got more than 90K views. Probably because their timing and cause were both very relevant to Lebanon.

I just uploaded them on You Tube so one can watch them in higher res than on FB
