Clout Theatre Bring How A Man Crumbled To The Unity.

Award-winning Clout Theatre invite you to dive into the absurd world of the Russian poet and false moustache wearer Daniil Kharms in their production of How A Man Crumbled on Friday 8th February.

Expressionist silent film meets grotesque slapstick in a world where clocks have no hands and a cucumber can kill a man. Three storytellers let narrative escape them as comic vignettes, metaphysical ponderings and bouts of senseless violence provide constant distraction.

Clout are an award winning theatre company based in London. All members trained at École International de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq.
 They make theatre that has variously been described as ‘meaningless’ and dealing with ‘sex, death, philosophy and religion’.
