Bringing together top-tier physical comedians, character performers, and theatrical visionaries, the festival will feature two weeks of mainstage productions, interactive solo works, and late-night cabarets designed to stretch the boundaries of contemporary clowning. <\/p>\n<p>The festival showcases an eclectic lineup of absurd, hilarious, and emotionally resonant performances. Highlights of the two-week event include:<br \/>High-Octane Solo &amp; Ensemble Work: Hits like Tanya Perez\u2019s Welcome to Clowntown (fresh off its Orlando Fringe Festival run) and Katie Bowman\u2019s BUMPSY LIVE. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bk_arthaus\/\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Immersive Audience Experiences<\/a>: Interactive theater pieces such as The Pigs Next Door, which turns the entire audience into a chaotic suburban neighborhood. <\/p>\n<p>Late-Night Cabarets &amp; Variety: One-night-only lineups bringing together physical theater, vaudeville, and experimental comedy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Clowning is one of the most vital, vulnerable, and transcendent forms of live theater,&#8221; said Isaac Bush, Co-Executive Director of Brooklyn Art Haus. &#8220;With the New York City Clown Festival, we\u2019re excited to foster a home for modern character clowns to realize larger scale productions, and invite audiences into pure, unadulterated play.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Tickets range from $15 to $25, with festival passes and discount packages available.
