Little Problems
Created by Kelly Malcolm with dramaturgical assistance from Kathryn Smith, Little Problems was an experiment in clown and mime using non verbal story telling to communicate. In Little Problems we follow a night in the life of a young woman navigating her way through a loud and overwhelming world. In this particular case: a party. Complete with beer pong, a fight with a ping pong ball, a romantic dance in the coat room, and a completely cardboard based world, our protagonist finds solace in the simple things so she can avoid being buried in a complicated life.
Little Problems premiered with Goblin Market at the Motel Theatre in Calgary Alberta as a double bill in Spring 2014.
