World master of physical comedy and clowning, David Shiner, after Cirque du Soleil, found himself in Zagreb, discovered six clowns there, and decided to tell a story with them. These "seven magnificent fools," as they describe themselves, have decided to present a show full of laughter, chaos, and fun to the Croatian audience, using only movement, sound, and good music to take the audience on a mystical journey.
