Fly! Tomato! Fly! is a provocative combination of poetic and popular culture, entertaining and moving, unsettling and resonant.

Imagine a show inside a testicle painted by Dalí. Just when you think you know what you are watching, the rug is pulled from beneath you landing in a different world.

A rich visual show created by a clown.

 

 

This show takes an individual’s story and creates a landscape in which everybody can see themselves and laugh together in a moment of shared humanity.

Laughter tinged with sadness, anger, and pain that speaks to each of our struggles to accept who we are and the choices we’ve made.
