About this show
Join Romanian-Moroccan Muslim-Jewish, but also baptised clown Halima, in her debut solo-show of professional silliness, a heartfelt but also very funny hour of theatre and clowning about migration, loss and the concept of home. Did you know Baba means father in Arabic, witch in Romanian and baba ganoush wasn't always made with mayo? This is Baba: 'an absurd comedy, lighthearted. Romania-core at its finest... Really impressive, intriguing and strange, compelling and funny' (James Walsh). 'Ultimately this is a show about belonging and home, where we all come from, and where we're going. And also about sunglasses' (TheReviewsHub.com).
