Clown(s) - Opéra de Montréal

Combining an invented language, evocative music, and contemporary stage magic, this production creates a whimsical, circus-inspired world that captivates and touches the hearts of all who experience it. When a solitary clown opens a suitcase on an empty stage, an entire universe comes into being with all its attendant wonders: birth, discovery, love, joy, conflict, even sorrow. As the comic face paint disappears, our beloved clowns begin to reveal as much about themselves as they do about our greater humanity.
