The world is in a state of chaos. Yet clowns are not afraid: chaos is their element. Through creativity and spontaneity they can alter chaos and make it loose its destructive nature.

With wisdom and a smile, the World Parliament of Clowns – an initiative originated by some of the most celebrated clowns of our time – will try to re-stabilize our unbalanced ME-driven, business-oriented world, and bring it back to the solid grounds of reality, in harmony with the initial, spiritual WE-world.
