"Jimmy" is a tour de force of physicality.

In his ground-breaking one-man show, Richard Kimberley dissects modern masculinity with his astute mastery of posture, movement, and character. Rarely does one witness such a formidable, candid display of a single person's vulnerability on stage. Do not miss out on this extraordinary theatrical feat."

Peter Graff, Artistic Director, American Improv, Vienna, Austria

THE SHOW
Laugh and cry at the ridiculousness of it all, as our young hero goes in search of understanding what it means to be leaving boyhood behind to become a man.

Through physical theatre, pantomime, clown and playing with the tragic themes of a patriarchal society, hidden grief, roots of toxic behaviour, shame, initiation and male mentorship, JIMMY’s journey invites to dismantle and reflect.

Come and join him setting foot on complex grounds and trying to figure things out. Let’s laugh, cry, be confused and amused  in this intimate and comically serious show.

BEHIND THE SHOW

Through developing THE MALE IDIOT, a self-growth play workshop for men,  Richard noticed  the collective nature  of  wounds the participants shared about and played through. In the workshop participants discover  exaggerated characters  to play out  their individual connection to masculinity, gaining awareness of how it effects them  and those around them and step towards taking responsibility of it.  Ridiculous roles appear  that carry  tragedy and are ultimately  not sustainable.  After some workshops  the similarities of the forms and stories being presented  revealed a collective nature.

THERE IS A DARK UNDERLYING HIDDEN GRIEF IN MEN.

Inspired  by  this  fun  way  to  play and process  tragic themes, Richard  started a  personal mentorship  and  reflective  process towards this  show  guided  by Giovanni  Fusetti.  With the 2021 research  project   “The  Masks  and  Me”   he  was  playing  and exploring  through  his  personal  roles into  the  collective ones. Though this journey is continuous, out of this “Jimmy” was being created, a tragic comedy opening discussions  about masculinity and calling for personal responsibility.
