Lokke Wurm "Naked fools"in creation
"Naked Fools" explores how nakedness, humour and the clown nose can dismantle patriarchal structures and turn vulnerability into a form of resistance. The solo performance merges queer-feminist clowning with body politics and invites audiences into a space of radical visibility and transformation.

How does a clown look in a contemporary circus? Can I be nude and still be funny? What happens when the historic red nose meets bare skin? Why are my boobs a scandal and yours not?
"Naked Fools" collides queer-feminist clowning, physical- and object theatre. It questions the link between nudity and sexualisation, and plays the clown nose in shifting sizes and shapes. Improvisation, audience interaction and visual theatre. I explore which bodies are allowed to be funny, visible, or shameless – and how vulnerability becomes a tool of resistance. Premiere 2027, with optional “naked clown” workshop. Duration: 60 min solo performance Venue requirements: Dancefloor Performance space: 5m x 5m. Rigging point for 5Kg |
