What began as a normal mime performance on the college lawn was soon followed by vibrant and enchanting clown characters who revealed themselves from hiding and broke the fourth wall by interacting with the excited audience. Each character embodied a rasa or emotion from the navarasa (nine emotions) theory (that is Hasya-happiness, Bhyanaka-fear, Shringara-love, Roudra-anger, Adbutha-wonder, Bibhatsa-disgust, Karuna-fear, Veera-courage/heroism, and Shanta-peace) through their costumes, makeup, and flamboyant expressions.
