An elderly man, preparing to depart by train, carries the props of his entire life in his suitcase. While waiting for the train, a group of clowns involves him in their games. "The Clowns' Station will put your heart back in place and carry it far away to a world where everything is more beautiful if you embrace the child within you," says director Ana Crăciun Lambru.
"The Clowns' Station" was successfully presented at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2022, followed by a tour in Scotland in 2023, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen.
