Misstart,
a production for stage clowns

Wacky and bewildering humor that remains deeply human and moving.

The performance is about to start when the star of the show, Mister Jerry, disappears in a cloud of smoke. Morgon, his right-hand man, is forced to take over the show. Comedy and absurd meld in this one-hour performance during which Morgon must learn to accept the clumsiness, buffoonery and unexpected powers of H. Da, his last-minute assistant. Surfacing behind all this buffoonery are the solitude of existence and the loneliness of two beings being propelled into life circumstances.

Stepping into the thrilling world of clowning!
Seeing a production for stage clowns is like stepping into a peculiar world where comedy blends with poetry, chaos with order and drama with tomfoolery. On stage, clowns are both naive and full of mischief. The slightest item can amaze them and they are constantly in a state of discovery. But what is a stage clown? As a close relative of the circus clown, the stage clowns lives in the “here and now” of a performance. Instead of performing acts of daring and skill, stage clowns play with feelings and juggle with happens to them. Their response is to look for fun and share it with the audience.
