About the Show

What happens when six clowns dare to choose playtime over business?
Part physical comedy, part lucid dream, The Birth of Disco hurls audiences into a surreal playground full of absurdity, ritual, and rebellion.
Welcome to Holy Holy’s award-winning clown show The Birth of Disco — where work is an endless dance, sleepovers open portals, and pillow fights become battles of mythic proportions.
In this fantastical comedy, our protagonists—the feminist clown ensemble Holy Holy—stage a revolt against the grinding gears of productivity. When one among them succumbs to the seductive trap of work, the rest pull her (kicking and screaming) into the anarchic realm of play. But play turns perilous. Bodies fly, allegiances shift, and slow-motion warfare erupts.
Pole-slayings, sexual awakenings, dream sequences, and a mysterious egg propel Holy Holy (and the audience) toward the ritualistic birth of disco — a shimmering symbol of joy, awe, and togetherness. But playtime cannot last forever…
