Stevl Shefn and his Translator Fatima

A unique character comedy unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. So curious it’s almost hypnotising.

Two new original clowns: one is all colour and movement and desperate to be known – a downtrodden everyman in the tradition of Borat and the Marx Bros. The other is a colourless translator, unknown but for her expressive eyes, intelligent and assured English translation and beautiful singing voice.

At once confronting, ridiculous, manic, deadpan, humane and hilarious, we are ultimately uplifted by Stevl and his translator Fatima. As one shaggy dog story follows another Stevl’s survival is commendable, but who is Fatima and what’s her story?
