Relief through art and laughter in Lebanon

Project Report | Dec 10, 2021
End of an amazing tour with Payasos Sin Fronteras

By Clown Me In | project leader

Two of our clowns ( Sabine and Ghalya ) along with two clowns from Barcelona ( Denguito and Moi) have had an amazing time touring the South of Lebanon reaching more than 2000 kids and adults.

Big laughs, some tears and a lot of joy were part of the experience.

In the words of our clown boss

"We did three shows today. The whole day felt like an explosion of happiness. I was performing with clowns I love, we performed for kids and adults who’s laughter, happiness, engagement and amazement transported me to this dream-like world. I just didn’t know what to do with it all. I wanted to hug and thank each person, thank them for the happiness and love they gave me. Hug them tight so we could double and triple these wholly feelings. Because why not? We all deserve this.

But I had to keep it small obviously and instead I came home, hugged my little daughter for a very very very long time before she went to bed.

Thank you world. Sometimes you’re very kind"

And in the words of an old woman in an old people's house they visited:

“You brought us back to life“

We are doing a lot more thanks to your support and we love you for that.

This month we are offering a free show for every show bought.

Please spread the word, tell people about our work and have wonderful and happy holidays.
