Conceived, written, and performed by Candy Roberts
Director and Clown coach: Jan Henderson
What happens if we deny our deepest dreams and desires? Bobert is a silent character a la Charlie Chaplin who has a little red bird for a heart. His story asks us, what happens if we are to deny our deepest dreams and desires? Teetering on the brink of absolute failure, Bobert discovers his heart to be more important than he knew.
Ideas Bobert is a clown tour de force of comedy and conundrum created and performed by award-winning multidisciplinary artist Candy Roberts. With vintage silent film styling, shadow puppetry, stop motion animation projections, dance and live music, the wordless world of Ideas Bobert is rich with magic and creativity. Like Ginger Rogers meets Mr. Bean on the Muppet show, Ideas Bobert dances with the hilariously absurd.
A Heart-Fluttering Physical Comedy from the creative mind behind LARRY, OOPSIE! And upcoming BIG CHRONE ENERGY.
IDEAS BOBERT is a Theatre for Young Audiences presentation from CANDY BONES THEATRE (more information on Candy's other TYA work here)
