‘SeaStories: Part 3’ is a new performance art piece created by the minds of SATORI CIRCUS, Brian Dambacher and Tim Suliman. It follows the mysterious, happy-go-lucky, and sometimes aloof life of a good-natured man. A man who just so happens to enjoy wearing white make-up with black facial markings and has a love for dental floss.
One day, while on his way to a drugstore for more floss, he is mistaken for your average everyday ‘clown’; kidnapped by two thuggish gentlemen, he is stowed away on a freighter where his life is about to take a dramatic turn. The voyage ends in bad favor, as the ship sinks, sending all souls aboard to Davy Jones’ locker…all save one.
Floating atop his only remaining possession, he finds himself cold, scared, and in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle - headed toward a mysterious uncharted island. Bewildered, alone, with no contact to the outside world, he’s left to his own devices to survive on the uninhabited land.
SATORI CIRCUS was conceived as a one-man orchestration early in 1988, coming to fruition the fall of that year. Hard to define, this artist is not clown and not mime. Just a ball of energy, this life-force started inhabiting a myriad of characters from man to woman, to child, to things. Along with music, pantomime, film elements, words (spoken or sung), slapstick and movement: cloaked behind clown white and various facial accents, SATORI CIRCUS’ world came to life wherever the stage.
Original book, music and production design as well as performances by Brian Dambacher, Tim Suliman and R.A. Taylor.
