Colonial Circus at Aki Studio

Colonial Circus is here to turn the Western world upside down with two Brown clowns playing British colonizers bringing all the laughs, gasps, and uncomfortable chuckles audiences can handle. Through bouffon, song, dance, audience interaction, and morphing props, these two clowns teach the history of colonization in an unforgettable way. This languageless, immersive clown show blends history, humour, and a dash of Alejandro Jodorowsky-inspired mysticism into one thrilling and unpredictable ride.

This comedic phantasmagoria is written and devised by two South Asian artists, Sachin Sharma and Shreya Parashar, the co-founders of Hinprov, Canada’s first and only bilingual improv community for people of colour.
