Shaolin Clown is a non-verbal physical comedy show by Tom Corradini of Tom Corradini Teatro. A Shaolin monk revisits his childish and clownish soul through Zen practice, discovering wonder in seemingly insignificant little things.

It has appeared at Avignon Off, IAPAR in India, and Prague Fringe.
Why see this show?
A gentle, wordless performance that crosses all language barriers — pure physical storytelling that finds genuine delight in the smallest moments. Ideal for mixed groups and anyone who enjoys circus-influenced comedy with a meditative heart.
