Rubber 'n' Glue by Matthew B. Zrebski

A world premiere

In this dark and absurd comic caper, a group of desperate misfits chase the truth about the mysterious Simon - a sometimes clown who just might possess the power to heal. In the end it's ice cream, street dancing, golden watches, and giant swords that Simon must consider when he decides to either stop his adventures or continue to be the glue for all the ricocheting pain that bounces endlessly off a rubber world.
