We meet a rambunctious group of clowns from Clown Planet who narrowly escape their planet’s explosion and relocate to live on Earth. The lighting supports the spontaneity of a world full of clowns, while propelling the story forward from location to location. One moment, the clowns are playing games on their home planet. The next moment, they are flying through space. Eventually, they land on a very somber, film noir-inspired version of Earth and begin the process of making a new home. This colorful and lively show is full of bangs, crashes, and adventures.
