Maria Eugênia & Margarita
OUR BIO
Luciana and Ligia have known each other since 2016. It was love at first sight: a connection that lasts until today.
Together they took part in different physical theatre, dance, music and clown projects, as well as interactive works in different performing arts.
Especially as a clown duo they created several numbers full of humour and deepness, combining multiple techniques and weaving together a variety of themes ranging from the absurd to social criticism.
Luciana and Ligia work also together as medical clowns at the Association Rote Nasen e.V
