Through revival of the lost art of the HEYOKA, 4est is continuing the historic legacy of his ancestry. He Enthusiastically represents the pivotal mission of his two parents, who intricately dedicated 30+ years to professional clowning. His father has inspired this ever unfolding journey as author of “Let’s Twist Volume 1” and founder of Quad City Clown Troupe the largest running clown troupe in the United States. This movement and influence has brought many a foundation and curiosity for circus entertainment. Clowning is a sacred practice, much like meditation there is room for healing in the liminal spaces. 4est da clown creates lighthearted interactions through embracing expression in its truest form and sharing cheerful satire. This talent comes naturally and sharing it is the sententious promise to pave the way for sacred healing and architecture.
