# 115 Kangalee & The Smile at the Foot of the Ladder
Description
A clown stands alone… somewhere between Henry Miller and Samuel Beckett… somewhere between laughter and the cosmic void.
Henry Miller once said, “A clown is a poet in action.” Today, that poet is Kangalee—the one-man actor and director—returning to the stage with a new mono-drama that refuses to stay in one world. Silent film. Revolutionary vaudeville. Delirious mime. Poetry. Nirvana.
This is the modern holy fool—not Keaton, but Kangalee—struggling, leaping, breaking through to offer us something sacred.
And for the first time in America, Henry Miller’s most mysterious story comes alive on stage in Smile: A Clown’s Ascension — based on The Smile at the Foot of the Ladder.
This episode is a conversation with Kangalee!
