One of Our Clowns is Missing - T67124781A scorching production of terrifying stunts and grotesque gags One of Our Clowns is Missing draws on the continuum of circus and freak show, creating a richly imagined and horribly plausible parallel universe. With a cast of human oddities The Fire Tusk Pain Proof Circus combine neo-cabaret, performance art, fetish and burlesque, to create a fragmented, twenty first century, acid soaked, apocalyptic, vision of the future. In 2009, The Fire Tusk Pain Proof Circus headlined Glastonbury Festival’s Circus Big Top with a show that firmly stuck two fingers up at the field’s family friendly tradition and established new links between the Circus Field and Trash City. One of Our Clowns is Missing stars Lucifire as the whip-cracking Ring Mistress alongside her loyal, snarling monster-pet The Pain Proof Tusk. Big Grey as the Voodoo Master, The Baron as the Dandy Strongman and Fancy Chance (reigning Miss Alternative World) as the Hapless Usherette. Featuring a company of twenty gleefully macabre clowns, playfully dynamite juggling, chainsaw wielding and aerial hair hanging, the show evokes memories of The Pilo Family Circus, a novel by Will Elliott, and Todd Browings’ 1932 film Freaks. | |
