ABOUT

Ons is die Beste (“We are the best” translated from Afrikaans) is a show  about three clowns inspired by the Olympics who are fighting and completing with each other but getting nowhere as a result. They learn through trial and error that the only way they can succeed is if they work together as a team. Using physical comedy, music, storytelling, and dance, these performances were offered freely by professional artists to provide momentary relief to large numbers of children and adults. They help transform places of grief and emotional suffering into celebrations of laughter, joy and hope.
