Janice Honeyman's "MALO"
“Malo” is a heart-warming cirque-theatre tale of Malo the Clown and his eternal love for the celestial Melodia Luna.
Set in a once-glorious circus now faded by time, this magical production blends aerial artistry, puppetry, slapstick, and heartfelt storytelling. With a colourful Parade of Clowns, enchanting puppet animals, and breath-taking aerial scenes, audiences of all ages will be transported into a dreamlike world where love defies gravity and stars still shine bright. Join Malo, his loyal donkey Dumpledore, and the whole circus cast on a poetic journey of joy, longing, and hope.
