A work in progress from Best Comedy Winner (Melbourne Fringe), Gemma Soldati. This interactive clown show about the absurdity of money and wealth is somewhere between a rousing game of monopoly and a rehearsal for our inevitable global economic collapse. How must we treat those poor rich? And what then to do with the poor? These questions and more may or may not be explored in this playful hour. 18+

Gemma Soldati is an American performing and teaching artist. Her most recent touring show was the Award Winning The Living Room--a devised clown show with Amrita Dhaliwal. She has taught in Los Angeles, New England, and Toronto for both adults and children.
Gemma’s focus is clown inspired work developed in front of live audiences. Her projects playfully dive deep into the heart of vital themes probing audiences with questions and meaning making - Grief, Ritual, Sleep, Dreams, and beyond. Her current project, The Adventures of Sleepyhead, a family show about the loss of one’s dreams, was developed at the New Hampshire Theatre Project and presented digitally at the 2021 Edinburgh Festival Fringe by Assembly. Sleepyhead has also been adapted as a short video series for NHPBS with support from the New Hampshire Humanities.
She was an artist in Residence at Het Domijn artist Cooperative in Weesp, Netherlands for the Fall of 2021 where she developed her new show The Poor Rich.
Gemma was an ensemble member of The Murge, which LA Weekly described as, "Spontaneous Theater of the absurd...Lascivious, blasphemous and potentially dangerous." Additionally, she was ensemble and co-deviser in The Invention of Language and The Simple Simples —featured in The Neo-Futurists Kitchen Festival in 2016.
She has devised and produced several shows in Los Angeles including, The Cobbler, The Sleepover Show, The Living Room and Amateur Burlesque—featured in Comedy Bureau’s 2018 “100 Best Things in Comedy"
