Rooted in a unique style of theatrical clowning, AGA-BOOM combines the unbridled silliness of slapstick, physical comedy, goofy mime, theatrical expressionism, poetry, and European avant-garde. Los Angeles Times’ toughest critic Don Shirley said, “[Aga-Boom] is literally riotous - as in so funny the audience did more than just laugh, they laughed more than any theatrical experience within memory.” Without language, the combination of theatrical clowning and audience participation creates an hour and twenty minutes of pure fun appropriate for all ages. Although completely unique it has been described as “The Blue Man Group meets Slava’s Snowshow.” The company consists of four players. The two lead players Dimitri and Iryna worked as the featured clowns in Cirque du Soleil’s “O” and “Alegria” for 7 years. AGA-BOOM was nominated for the Ovation Award, in the category of best touring show, along with The Producers, 42nd Street, Lily Tomlin and Elaine Stritch. AGA-BOOM brings together on the stage the best traditions of circus, comedy and experimental clown theater you have ever seen. The combination of these elements creates a new standard of comedy and will change your point of view toward clowning itself. AGA-BOOM will bring you back to the excitement, pure delighted amazement, and wonder of childhood. It will make you laugh, think, participate and enjoy your life. Los Angeles Daily News note that, “[Aga-Boom] is a booming success... Deft, as well as humorous and wonderfully weird.” Guaranteed to make even the glum thaw into happiness! |
