“QOSLAY” is an experimental narrative short film/play that follows a young clown who feels out of place in her own home. Blending theatrical performance with cinematic storytelling, this piece explores themes of language barriers, cultural identity, and generational disconnect. As Qoslay journeys through surreal, folklore-inspired acts, she confronts power, fairness, and tradition, learning to find her voice in a world she struggles to understand. Through humor, riddles, and heartfelt curiosity, she attempts to communicate across differences, learning how others have grappled with the very questions she carries. Blending classical Somali folktales with elements of American theater and clownism, Qoslay becomes a playful and poetic journey about belonging.
