THE AEROMATIC MEN Comes to Curious Comedy Theater This Month
Performances are on 27 March.
Welcome to America! Brothers, Alek and Acrid Aeromatic, have traveled to the USA to fulfill their dreams of riches and success. But when their plans come crashing down, they are forced to return to their roots as the confidently incompetent circus performers, THE AEROMATIC MEN.
THE AEROMATIC MEN is a new theatrical work by Emily June Newton and Stefano Iaboni using physical comedy, clown and european-style street performance. This show examines Newton and Iaboni's own American immigration experience through a comedic lens, and ponders the question: can you really escape your destiny (as a performer)? Using audience interaction, larger than life characters and physical communication (no spoken language), this show is accessible to all people regardless of age and culture.
Emily Newton has been described as 'comedic gold' in Portland's Mercury, a 'stand out clown' and 'hands-down brilliant' in Broadway World. Stefano Iaboni has appeared on The Gong Show USA, was a finalist in Italy's Got Talent and winner of 'Best Show' at the Lunathica Festival in Italy. Both performers reside in Portland, Oregon.
THE AEROMATIC MEN is funded in part by the Regional Arts & Culture Council.
