A Timeless Voyage through the Vivid Memory of Love

By: Urban Belina and Saša Rakef
Performer: Nina Kokelj

The Summer with a Clown is the third novel by several-time award-winning author Nina Kokelj. She writes about a summer love that has had life-long effects on two artists: the painter Besa and the clown Shamran.

With a lyrical performance directed by the Marvellous World Wide artistic collective, the author as the seeker enters the book. She sees the clown in the garden… She indulges in sugar lumps voluptuously… She faces the pain of loss… She shares her memories with the light sage, while a vigilant eye is kept over her story by three colourful sea gypsies.

There are colours, there’s the hot, deep reason to one’s existence. Coffee, flowers, sackcloth.
