Clown? musings by José Piris
!
The word ‘clown’ might make us fearful, annoyed, or feeling ambivalent. Is it because we relate it to a laughing stock? Because we envision a distant figure, like a not-quite-serious martial figure, painted like the Indian warrior...?
Recently for some, the clown transformed into an antihero full of generosity, carrying
"The clown is this laughter on his back. The clown has passed from the Great Unknown...to the Desired Failure. Is this because he has a great heart, and society is increasingly that being with lacking in this condition? The clown is that being with a pea-brain and the heart of an Chaplin said: “my dignity, my poverty and absurd condition are the a pea-brain and elephant.... plainest motives to be a tramp: the representative of the people, of the world, of this the heart of an society, a bowler hat mask, a elephant..." painted moustache and worn out footwear that is what the world needs to be happier. What it does not need is a dictator with well combed hair without either moustaches or nose”.
Am I a clown, or do I only think I am one? What is a clown, or to be a clown? Is it a cardboard figure? Is it colourful? Does it have something to do with birthdays, a dandy man in distress chased by a swarm of hysterical children? Is it the figure appearing in American super-tents of Cirque du Soleil? Or is it an aristocratic figure?
