About This Event

Tom Corradini's <I>Shaolin Clown</I> is a must-see for anyone who appreciates the blend of physical comedy with Eastern philosophy. His performance at the Fruitmarket promises to be a delightful mix of non-verbal antics and witty commentary, revealing how even in adulthood, one can find childlike wonder in everyday life. With roots in traditional Shaolin techniques, Corradini brings a fresh perspective that highlights the absurdity and beauty inherent in both comedy and spirituality.

The show will take place daily at 11am from August 6th to August 21st. It is a non-verbal physical comedy performance that lasts for the duration of the scheduled time. The show is suitable for all ages, nationalities, and members of the audience with hearing impairment.

The performance is inspired by the book Shaolin: You Don't Have to Fight to Win by Bernhard Moestl. It features a Shaolin monk who relives his childish and clownish soul in his Zen practice, discovering a world full of surprises and finding meaning in seemingly insignificant things.

The show is performed by Tom Corradini, who has previously performed at various festivals including Avignon Off 2025, IAPAR (India) 2024, and Prague Fringe 2024.
