The Passion of Mr Cardboard
Liebenspiel Presents • Amateur Company
About the show
Liebenspiel Presents brings this theatrically forward solo clown show to The Wee Coo. Mr Cardboard — something between a jovial imaginary friend and an all-powerful god of play — is called forth from his slumber and flies the audience to his domain, the Land of Cardboard. But is the Land of Cardboard the magical place it once was? Mr Cardboard must battle with a higher power for the pleasure of the audience and to save the eternal spirit of his world. The show is written and performed by Miles Calderon, previously of Stamptown and Upright Citizens Brigade. Running 60 minutes, suitable for ages 12 and over. Audience participation is involved.
Why see this show?
Solo clown shows live or die on the performer's commitment, and Miles Calderon brings a grand mythology — an entire Land of Cardboard — to a single stage. Playful, surprising, and genuinely theatrical in ambition.
