500 Clown premiered in Chicago in 2000 and continues to use circus arts, improvisation, and action-based performance to produce theater that catapults the performers into extreme physical and emotional risk. The work shifts the audience from passive to active observers and creates a charged environment that celebrates the unpredictable power of the moment.
Ripping through the fourth wall, the clowns generate a charged environment in which the audience is left to wonder what was planned and what was created for the first time before their very eyes. Featuring no red noses, big shoes or little cars, 500 Clown conspires with the audience to redefine 'clown'.
