DC Theatre Scene: In the darkness, a disembodied voice tells us we are embarking on a journey and instructs us to ready ourselves for take off and to put our cell phones to airplane mode. Then so many thousands of miles up, it is announced we are to be jettisoned out of the aircraft. A goofy lovable Everyman, the Dutch clown Eric Fool Koller, suddenly sky dives, madly backstroking, Superman planing, and pulling on his parachute strings, all to no avail. Finally, he pulls out a parasol that mysteriously breaks his fall, and he floats down to an imaginary landscape – a bright field of marigolds, as far as the eye can see. Through our Fool, we discover a waking dream of Mexico, a world as magical as any in Alice in Wonderland.
