The Bag, Solo Clown performance by Polina Smith, Crescent Moon Theater Company, Hercules, CA. Through whimsical storytelling and physical theater, “The Bag” delves into themes of self-discovery, sexuality, and the liberating power of letting go. Polina Smith, Artistic Director of Crescent Moon Theater Productions, invites you to step into her enchanting world. In this solo clown performance, a larger-than-life woman aimlessly wanders in worn red stiletto shoes, burdened by a mysterious bag that weighs heavily on her. As she desperately seeks relief, a question arises: has she ever dared to peek inside the bag? Join us for an unforgettable theatrical experience that embraces the reality of confronting our history. “The Bag” is a poignant exploration of what it means to struggle with the heavy and imperceptible burdens we take with us—and the magic of being released from them.
