Synopsis
CrazyFace, goes on a journey of self discovery while trying to escape the angel who lives at his side, demanding his attention while remaining invisible to all others. This dream-like magical world includes clowns, magicians, international spies, a gang of lady bandits, a flying man, the Pope and the secret of life contained in a precious little box. Most members of the ensemble will be asked to play multiple roles in this dark comedy. The adventure raises questions about the nature of the divine, the essence of morality, and the thin line between sanity and madness.
