David Gaines is an exceptionally skilled clown who creates vivid images on stage with nothing more than his own body, a couple of masks and vocalized sound effects and faux dialogue. His show, 7(x1) Samurai is a both a celebration and a spoof of the classic Akira Kurosawa film The Seven Samurai.
- by Robert Trussell
DAVID GAINES is the creator and star of 7(x1) Samurai, which has toured the world and garnered 5 star reviews, Best of Fest awards, hold-overs, and praise from audience members and reviewers.
