Rhum and Clay Theatre Company Presents MISTERO BUFFO

A daring rallying cry for the disenfranchised, Mistero Buffo takes aim at those who manipulate truth and belief for power and control.

But this clownish figure's versions of Biblical tales aren't anything like you've heard before… Mistero Buffo is a one man tour de force that elevates the voice of the vulnerable over the accepted narratives of power and privilege.
