SHOW COPY

After runs at Edinburgh Fringe, Adelaide Fringe, Norway Clown Festival, and shows in New York, London, Oslo, and Paris, Gaulier-trained American clown Darius Emadi brings his unhinged debut hour to [CITY]!

Remember when you dreamed without limits? MIXTAPE invites you back into that feeling.

After years of denying his own legend, MIXTAPE follows a would-be legend as he charges through a mixtape of his wildest dreams — dancer, athlete, seducer, telekinetic wonder — testing whether he’s the “chosen one” he’s always imagined.

MIXTAPE is a high-energy, ridiculous, dangerously alive clown hour that pushes one performer to the edge of glory or oblivion. Will he claim his soul, or discover he was never meant for greatness at all?

A joyful hour of risk, play, and possibility, MIXTAPE is an invitation to dream wildly and wake up the part of your soul that still believes anything is possible.

Co-directed by Toph Enany and Chase Brantley.

"Emadi balances romantic idiocy with a genuine hunger for connection and a big dream, holding the room with irresistible charm."

"A spirited, affectionate lesson in clown – celebrating risk, presence, and the magic of live performance."

"There’s a dreamlike, at times unhinged quality to these forty minutes... a sense that anything could happen – and often does."
