Summary |
On his 60th birthday Australian clown and mime Jean-Paul Bell leads a travelling circus troupe to Nepal to perform for school children in remote villages, only to find he's taken on more than he bargained for.This pilgrimage is Jean-Paul's dream: a way of honouring his childhood hero - mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary who, after conquering Mt Everest 60 years ago this week, helped establish schools in inaccessible villages in the Himalayan mountains. But the 50-day, high-altitude trek proves far more challenging than Jean-Paul expected.As does living in close quarters with the rest of the troupe a world away from the comforts of home.Relationships are tested and forged in this journey full of humour and inspiring cross-cultural encounters |
