Natuurlijk geen echt circus, want maar één van de drie vereiste onderdelen: clowns!
Dat is al enige tijd Pointless International, en met succes!
Coco, Buster, Joey en Sugar spelen zichzelf maar worden bijgestaan door niemand minder dan Stan Vreeken.
Die zorgt voor de muzikale omlijsting van wat je zou kunnen noemen: clownsliederen door de loop der geschiedenis.
Bovendien een samenvatting van eerder succesvol werk.
Een must voor de kenners en liefhebbers, derhalve!
Eerder dit jaar waren ze al op tournee door ons land, deze voorstelling is alleen in Amsterdam te zien.
Bij dit gezelschap gaat alles uitsluitend in het Engels.
Over de voorstelling:
Coco, Joey, Buster, Sugar and Stan Vreeken make an unnecessary and essential medley
‘What is a medley without music, what is life without a medley?’
There comes a new medley out of the stock of 200 years of classical clowns scenes.
Never the same and always simply the best.
Probably unnecessary and essential.
Buster plays Buster, Joey plays Joey, Coco plays Coco, Stan Vreeken is Stan Vreeken and if you need Sugar there is Sugar.
A compilation of the worst jokes, scenes and pantomimes.
With live music! And even some never before seen material!
10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 April in Frascati, five opportunities for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Don’t miss it, because we will miss you!

Over het gezelschap en de artiesten:
Pointless International
Pointless International is an English speaking international clown performance presented by theater companies Maatschappij Discordia and ’t Barre Land.
Theatre members Matthias de Koning, Jorn Heijdenrijk, Czeslaw de Wijs and Vincent van den Berg have joined forces to combine the best of the stage with the best of the circus.
Stan Vreeken
With his big sense of imagination and strong poetic instincts – accompanying himself on guitar and baritone ukulele – Stan Vreeken (1985) creates a space for his audience to be immersed in.
His well-crafted songs, fortified by his intimate and sometimes compelling vocal rendition, are precious little gems in these fleeting times.
Therefore it makes perfect sense that Stan is often compared to songsmiths of earlier days such as Paul Simon, Elvis Costello or James Taylor.
Ever since he graduated as a singer from the Conservatory of Amsterdam (in 2011) Stan has been active in the music and theatre scene of the Netherlands.
In 2017 he toured througout the country with theatre piece Find Me A Boring Stone, which he performed together with actor Gijs Naber.
In 2015 he performed The Big Easy – with his own theatre company Tijdelijke Samenscholing – which was a big hit on Oerol and Operedagen Rotterdam.
In 2014 he appeared in television show De Wereld Draait Door with his former band (The Big Hunger).
Furthermore, Stan has been the main lyricist for Ruben Hein, who has won an Edison for his album Hopscotch.
Among the songs Stan co-wrote the singles Elephants, That's Not Life, Hopscotch and Fool By Morning.
