OLD GOD with Alec Jones-Trujillo #388

🌟 Welcome back to The Martin Talk Show – the podcast where creativity, imagination, and fearless artistry collide! I’m your host, Martin Colton, and in this special Edinburgh Fringe edition, we step right into the world of myth, mischief, and modern commentary through the lens of an unforgettable character: Old God.🎭 Created and performed by history and clown graduate Alec Jones-Trujillo, Old God is no ordinary figure. A foppish, irreverent oracle; a singer of doom; a weaver of myth – this highly verbal, white-faced clown merges the ancient with the modern, the profound with the profane. Alec and I dive deep into the making of this extraordinary show, the inspirations that sparked it, and how humour, bouffon, and satire can help us process the strange, chaotic world we live in today.✨ Expect conversations that explore tech, politics, society, power, and the human condition – but always with wit, play, and laughter at the centre. This isn’t just a chat; it’s an invitation to reimagine what performance can be, and how we can embrace our own creativity to spark change.🎙 Recorded live on the vibrant streets of Edinburgh during the world’s biggest celebration of arts and performance, this episode captures the energy of Fringe life while unlocking the unique vision of one of its most exciting performers.If you’ve ever wondered how ancient archetypes meet modern anxieties, or how a clown can become a mirror for society’s absurdities, this conversation will inspire, entertain, and maybe even unsettle you in all the best ways.🔥 Tune in, laugh with us, and step into the strange and spectacular world of Old God.As always, connect with Martin via: www.themartintalkshow.com#EdinburghFringe #TheMartinTalkShow #Podcast #OldGod #ClownTheatre #Bouffon #LivePerformance #Creativity #ArtsPodcast #ComedyPodcast #TheatrePodcast #FringeFestival #EdinburghFestival #PerformanceArt #Storytelling #Improv #Mime #Standup #AlternativeComedy #PoliticalSatire #TheHumanCondition #PowerAndGreed #ArtAsResistance #CreativeProcess #ArtistsOfEdinburgh #FringeVoices #IndependentTheatre #ExperimentalComedy #LiveArts #MartinColton
