Clown Girl

Clown Girl Lives In Baloneytown, A Seedy Neighborhood Where Drugs, Balloon Animals, And Even Rubber Chickens Contribute To The Local Currency. Against A Backdrop Of Petty Crime, She Struggles To Live Her Dreams, Calling On Cultural Masters Charlie Chaplin, Kafka, And Da Vinci For Inspiration. In An Effort To Support Herself And Her Layabout Performance-artist Boyfriend, Clown Girl Finds Herself Unwittingly Transformed Into A Corporate Clown, Trapping Herself In A Cycle Of Meaningless, High-paid Gigs That Veer Dangerously Close To Prostitution.
