We will die... whether we laugh or not!
About this Event
Agents of Chaos, Bouffons are everywhere, they speak the truth and are always... well, MISUNDERSTOOD . They are scary, free, visceral, angry, violent, abusive, sneaky, sincere, generous and playful. They are, in a word, simply human. Joke’s on us!
A Bouffon performance is like trying to squeeze an old fart and getting a joyful explosion of diarrhea in the face! Yes, their weapons are disgust and the grotesque.
On Monday July 20th, we invite you to take a look at the origins of Bouffons as a tool to disrupt cruelty, anxiety and adversity to which our vulnerable lives are subjected to. Connecting the dots through Commedia dell’Arte, ancient Carnival rites and tricksters far beyond our patriarchal system, that naughty, kindred spirit evolves, and has many names, but is rigorously constant. Where humans are, they are!
Let‘s embrace together this instinct, this tool, this method: making laughter a practice towards letting go!
We will die... whether we laugh or not is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council.
