Clowns Without Borders - Laughter Per Kilometre

A film made in collaboration with Clowns without Borders (Sweden) and Red Nose Entertainment (India) documenting a theatre residency to create a unique initiative called Laughter Per Kilometre. The first ever-month-long celebration of clowning in India, made possible by Clowns without Borders Sweden (CWE-SE) and Red Nose Entertainment (RNE). Their aim? To promote the hitherto neglected art form in India and secondly, to use it as a tool to lend psychosocial aid to less fortunate children/people. And as Rupesh Tillu, actor and founder of RNE puts it, “We want to make India funny again, kilometre by kilometre.” 

​

Laughter Per Kilometre is now an initiative by Rupesh Tillu and his team, who travel to different cities in India to conduct clowning workshops for children from vulnerable communities.
