CREATION, a solo clown show in the tradition of Harpo Marx and Bill Irwin, is a physically raucous, delightful romp through the world of the clown, where the silly is celebrated and the simple is beautiful. Embracing make-believe and magic, and returning one to a world of wonder, CREATION offers a hilarious new view of that old book known as Genesis. With rare crossover appeal, adults will love this edgy show, while kids will run to tell their friends about the funniest guy since Homer Simpson. CREATION features original music (ukulele included) conceived and performed by Peter Friedland and Javen Tanner. No knowledge of English necessary to enjoy the show.
