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. Alongside various ensemble situations, David Shiner presents several of his clown gags that have dazzled Broadway and Cirque du Soleil, specially prepared for the Croatian audience.

The show, which features the aforementioned David Shiner, Ivan Đuričić, and Iva Peter Dragan, as well as Bojan Ban, Domagoj Ivanković, Iskra Jirsak, and Nikolina Majdak/Irena Tereza Prpić, is a physical theater with no language barriers. Everyone seeking entertainment and laughter can enjoy it.

David Shiner started as a street performer in Paris, and in 1990, he first collaborated with Cirque du Soleil as a performer and co-creator of the show "Nouvelle Expérience," which brought fame to the company. He has directed two shows for the world's most famous circus, one of which is Kooza, still running since its premiere in 2007, making it the longest-running touring show of Cirque du Soleil. On Broadway, with his longtime theater partner Bill Irwin, he created and performed in the original productions of Fool Moon and Old Hats, earning a prestigious Tony Award for the former. Musical theater fans know him for his role as the Cat in the Hat in the original Broadway cast of the musical Seussical. He has been a regular lecturer at the Theater Akademie August Everding in Munich for several years.
