“The Fool begins at the end of a life-long relationship between a child who suddenly no longer believes that his imaginary friend, Anda the Clown, exists. In denial and unable to accept this sudden change, the devastated Anda attempts to remain close to a growing boy that no longer chooses to see him. The clown desperately tries to be seen by the child, believing that without his validation he simply doesn’t exist. His fears are confirmed when he looks in the mirror and doesn’t see a reflection of himself. At the advice and support of his close friend and mentor; an old, discarded ventriloquist Dummy, Anda reluctantly begins his journey into the world beyond the child’s secluded universe. Anda needs the courage to face the unknown future on his own and believe in himself in order to move on and find a child who believes in him.”

“The ancients understood the ephemeral and advised their students not to take life too seriously. Life changes too quickly for us to dwell overly long on a single aspect. Things may go one way for a while, only to change quickly and unpredictably. Therefore, the wise realize that there is nothing to be gained by regarding life as immutable. It is far better to accept and work with its ephemeral quality. Then, no matter how difficult things are, we can laugh.”
