4 Clowns

“Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter”. ~Friedrich Nietzsch

4 Clowns is a journey into what it means to be a human being. Follow 4 clowns who represent the 4 clown archetypes; the sad clown, the mischievous clown, the angry clown and the nervous clown as they get together to lament and reminisce about their past. As the old adage goes, ‘laughter is the best medicine’ but, laughter comes most earnestly when reflecting on past sorrows. As the clowns tell their tales of woe and elation from childhood to adulthood we discover that really they are all the same, and so are we.

“Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis”. ~ Jack Handy
