Red Pearl Clown Festival M.P.A.C.: FAIL AWAY

With hula hoops, acrobatic couch lounging, singing, dancing, illusions, and physical comedy, these four clowns embrace life as it comes. Behind every stumble lies a story: of the body that both carries and breaks, of unwanted pregnancy, involuntary childlessness, and the grief when someone close fails in their will to live.

United in a feminist struggle, they challenge old norms, the patriarchy, power structures, and body shame. Because maybe it is possible – to fall and discover that the fall itself is part of freedom.

M.P.A.C. consists of circus artists Karin Svensson, Jenny Soddu, Camilla Rud, and Kajsa Mobacke Englund. Together, they create feminist works that, with vulnerability, strength, humor, courage, and political sharpness, turn norms and structures upside down. In Hairy Tales, unwanted body hair was celebrated. In Breast in Peace, breast shame was buried. Now, they take on their next taboo: failure.
