The queen of comedy Hilary Chaplain is teaching her very own Physical Comedy workshop this summer!

In this workshop artists will learn how to create original comedic material that is funny, physical, and honest to who they are. Using the language of clown, artists will expand their comedic toolkit by learning techniques of slapstick, games, improvisation, partnership, comic timing, and accidents.

This workshop welcomes all kinds of performers and theater artists. It speaks the language of clown, but it is an extraordinary opportunity for clowns, actors, circus artists, puppeteers, burlesque performers to level up their comedic toolkit.

Meet @hilarychaplain, who in episode #25 of @theninerspodcast reminds us not to teach the chair falling bit on day three of leading an intensive clown workshop. She also inspires us to keep pushing, keep learning, and share ourselves, our creativity, and our vulnerability with the world.

A Life in Her Day
Di e con Hilary Chaplain
Regia Avner Eisenberg

Sabato 11 aprile 2026
Ore 21:00 - Teatro del Popolo Castelfiorentino (FI)
Per tutti
Durata 1 ora

Non convenzionale e incredibilmente divertente, questo pluripremiato spettacolo che racconta una giornata di vita, è un meraviglioso mix di comicità fisica, clowneria e teatro fisico.

Cosa succede quando la nostra eroina scopre un anello di “fidanzamento” nella scatola dei cereali? Un meraviglioso mix di comicità fisica, teatro di oggetti, burattini e teatro serio, lo spettacolo è un monologo di un’ora in cui la nostra eroina si arrangia con una famiglia “fittizia” composta da comuni oggetti domestici.

Dicono dello spettacolo: “Consiglio vivamente a tutti di andare a vedere lo spettacolo di Hilary Chaplain, con la sola attrice e pochi oggetti di scena: questa storia meravigliosa, stravagante e bizzarra che parla di te, o di tua cugina, tua zia, la tua ragazza, la tua ex moglie, tua madre, la tua vicina… “

Vi aspettiamo numerosi!
