Tony Clifton Circus presents “Hula Doll”, a performance of extreme comedy or rather of comic extremism, halfway between nonsense and provocation. On stage, two sour clowns, a musician, a translator and a pile of objects give way to their playful fantasy as well as their black instincts. The result is a disorderly mosaic of freedom and frustration, deep laughter and blows to the stomach, poetry turned into blood and stupidity so extreme it becomes thought. The performance unravels through verbal provocation and apparently absurd actions, with the purpose of creating an increasingly disarming and hyper-real situation, in order to induce such a state of involvement in the public that they are ready to believe that everything is possible, in theatre and in real life. Hula Doll is difficult to classify, its comedy wants to be junk, and its drama touches on intellectual pornography.
