        Ollie Is A Martian
        An existential love poem told with beauty, simplicity and idiocy.

         

        "There are many different worlds.  Many different galaxies.  Many different Universes.
        And many, many different creatures." - Ollie Is A Martian

         

        After leaving his home on the delinquent red planet, a Martian called Ollie arrives on Earth. It is wonderful! But why is he here? Moon hopping through the world Ollie asks the big questions about life, love and the universe.

         

        Ollie Is A Martian stars Gaulier trained clown Oliver Cox, and is co-written and directed by his uncle, actor, musician and comedian Barnie Duncan. Barnie is widely recognised from his popular and award- winning theatrical works Him (Overall Fringe Award - Auckland Fringe Festival 2013) Constantinople (winner Most Original Production - Auckland Theatre Awards) and Calypso Nights (finalist Best Newcomer NZ - International Comedy Festival).

         

        With a deep familial tie of clown-based storytelling between its creators, Ollie Is A Martian is sure to charm even the most cynical of earth-humans during it’s galactical full length debut.

         

        Think Wes Anderson meets Jaques Tati.

         

        Ollie is A Martian is the latest show from the award-winning makers of The Magic Chicken, Squidboy, Constantinople and Calypso Nights.
