Skill! Hooray! In Bella Culpa, clowns Amica Hunter and David Cantor become servants who spend their days creating fantasy scenarios and finding new ways to clean the chandelier. 

Bella Culpa starts too slowly but hits its stride with an extended sequence that involves a sponge puppet who meets a grisly end. And the company’s salute to spaghetti westerns is a treat. Just wait for the horse.

The pair’s acrobatics are fun, but ultimately it’s their inventive sense of play that wins the day. A deeper relationship and more challenging material would both be welcome, but, at a time when clowns are littering the Fringe circuit like confetti after a wedding, these two are the real thing.
