​MORRO AND JASP In Stupefaction

Produced by Kabin and U.N.I.T. Productions

This brand new show follows Morro and Jasp on a search for meaning as they interpret a series of bizarre happenings and encounters with mysterious strangers as signs from the divine.

United in their awe, Morro and Jasp attempt to craft the rules of a new faith, but come up against each other’s ideas of what or who they are worshipping. This turns clown against clown and forces the sisters to ask – can anyone ever truly tell someone else what is worth believing in?

Press & Praise

"Morro & Jasp in Stupefaction ups clowns' game and pays off. The sibling duo’s ambitious new show yields deeper interactions and comic rewards."
NNNN NOW Magazine

"Morro & Jasp deliver a pertinent satirical warning about religion, power, politics, theatre, relationships and social media/technology, but make the audience laugh to the point of pain while they take their hits."
★★★★ My Gay Toronto

​​"Quite stupendous...Morro and Jasp find themselves in a deliriously surreal situation but their comic warmth (and hilarious asides) takes us along for the ride."
​★★★★ Tapeworthy

"This feels like a natural progression into weightier fare, with just the right amount of silly sprinkled in."
★★★★ Theatromania

"
Stupefaction takes the audience on a wild and magical ride ending in a joyous conclusion.  Any room with Morro and Jasp in it is always a happy place."
