Experience
Trampo Beds


Like a gaggle of young kids playing in their grandparents’ room, six artists jump on two 600-pound beds that move on rotating platforms. In a playful atmosphere, they perform acrobatic feats, each more daring than the last.

The next scene is a flashback to the Clown's childhood; two large beds are wheeled out and a group of performers dressed as children begin bouncing up and down and playfully throwing pillows at each other. The beds are actually trampolines and the performers spring up, perform flips, balance on the bed frames and eventually bound from one bed to the other all to the sounds of an upbeat swing song.

At the end of the scene angels appear overhead to escort the dead clown toward heaven, his bed rises and he is fitted with a pair of angel wings. The audience laughs at his awkward first attempts to fly.
