What I liked

What excellent performances! The group movement, the deconstructed improv games, the inane audience banter, the warped physicality, and the calm confidence in the face of complete discomfort were all a delight. I don’t want to say more about this show here because I went in knowing very little about what to expect and bouffon clowning in general and came out inspired. Those red/blue things are damn funny.

What I didn't like

Bike lights in the dark is only engaging for about a quarter of the time that I experienced it in this show. Bring up the lights and let me see the clowns!

My overall impression

An absurd theatre experience where the performance is your discomfort and the audience is five nightmarish Dr. Seuss gnomes. I throughly enjoyed it. Go expand your mind and laugh your ass off.
