A sure-fire 45-minute crowd-pleaser, Pinot and Augustine is a classic, family-friendly clown duo inspired by the golden age of Circus. Pinot is the authoritarian clown in fancy clothes and a white cone hat. Augustine is the appealing red-nose bumbler who punctures his pomposity. The show bubbles over with physical comedy, virtuosity, and musical surprise from the sublime to the ridiculous: from lyrical melodies on a musical saw to pratfalls and a whoopee cushion. Pinot and Augustine have performed worldwide and are a hit with audiences of every age.

Happenstance Theater is an award-winning professional company committed to devising, producing, and touring original, visual, and poetic theater. With simplistic means, Happenstance Theater seeks to elevate the moment when the performers and audience meet to lift the encounter beyond the pedestrian into the realm of dreams, poetry, and art.
