KAPUT

This is what would happen if Mr. Bean was a Cirque Du soleil Acrobat

'KAPUT,' the multi-award winning family show has melted hearts of all ages around the world with its glorious brand of slapstick, acrobatics, and total silliness. Be swept up in the mayhem that is the larger-than-life 'elegant buffoon' Tom Flanagan, as one man’s life is flipped upside-down by the lonely, dust-covered world that surrounds him. This clumsy ‘Mr. Fixit’ takes one step forward and two-steps back in a highly skilled, hilariously funny, and beautifully poignant bit of madness.
