Heading Into Night: A clown play about… [forgetting]

Heading into Night, making its highly anticipated West Coast debut at the Odyssey Theatre, stars the brilliantly talented Daniel Passer, a renowned Cirque du Soleil clown. This deeply moving yet unexpectedly humorous play delves into the intricacies of memory. Are we more than what we know, what we love, what we can hold onto in the swirling carousel of time passing? Are we ever more than what makes us laugh?  Through Passer’s masterful performance, the audience embarks on a surreal and poignant journey, finding hilarity, joy, and unexpected revelations in the ironies of fading memory. Passer’s whimsical and emotionally resonant portrayal breathes life into moments that challenge the mind while warming the heart, creating an unforgettable theater experience where humor transcends the challenges of forgetting. Co-created by award-winning director Beth F. Milles.
