Blanc sur Blanc
A whimsical and poetic journey into the world of a clown, Blanc sur Blanc follows performer Iman Lizarazu with the comical unraveling of a simple thread from her pants. What begins as a minor inconvenience soon reveals a web of interconnected challenges. As she faces a series of mishaps, the clown discovers that solving problems is never as straightforward as it seems—but always with a touch of humor and creativity. This charming performance is a lighthearted exploration of how the little things in life can spiral into larger, often absurd, dilemmas. Full of physical comedy and heart, Blanc sur Blanc reminds us that in life, all strings are attached…or perhaps, no strings at all! A perfect blend of fun and inspiration for audiences of all ages.
