SPECTACLE

the greatest one-clown show of all time

Let’s fuckin’… amm… rock… ‘n … amm… roll!   

​

World-famous superstar Spectacle arrives in front of their fans to perform the greatest show of all time. The star is driving their audience wild with their newly released album, which may not quite meet the expectations… it exceeds them!

Spectacle is a rock god, your wet daydream, an A-minor-virtuoso, the wit of every backstage, a casanova, the guitar hero that every man dreams to be, an all-time celebrity, a c*m-s****ing d**k head…

Spectacle is a solo work Minttu-Maaria Makkonen combining contemporary clowning, drag and character comedy. It explores the imagery of stardom and fandom, and masculine charisma in a feminine body. What is a rock dream without the music?

​

Quotes from Spectacle’s fans: 

Spectacle is so awesome.
Spectacle, I love you, please marry me now.
Spectacle is very talented.
Spectacle, you rock my world, please be my rock.
Spectacle is the best.

I let the music speak, okay…? That was that and what was it? Yeah, i fuckin’ love you too.
