Pinot and Augustine presented by Theare du Reve. May 3-5, 2024. 7 Stages Staff Pick.

PINOT & AUGUSTINE – Happenstance Theater, presented by Théâtre du Rêve (Theater of the Dream)

May 3-5, 2024 at 7 Stages

A 45-minute, bilingual, guaranteed crowd-pleaser, PINOT & AUGUSTINE is a classic, family-friendly clown duo inspired by the golden age of Circus. Pinot is the authoritarian clown in fancy clothes and white cone hat. Augustine is the appealing red-nosed bumbler who punctures his pomposity. Their show bubbles over with physical comedy, virtuosity and musical surprises from the sublime to the ridiculous: from lyrical melodies on a musical saw to pratfalls and a whoopee cushion.
