Bouffon: The Anti-clown
Oct 3rd 12pm-5pm
Cost $100
Location TBA Halifax
In the world of Bouffon, the audience is the joke. Bouffons show no vulnerability.
Their great joy is to parody the audience, its values and flaws.
This pack of grotesque outsiders engage and parody the audience with great joy, intelligence
and charm. To play as Bouffon is to celebrate paradox! They are disgusting, yet
beautiful. They hate you, yet they flatter you. The Bouffons are the ultimate manipulators! A
jokeó told by a nightmare.
A ferocious social satire is about to explode, liberating the energy in the room with an
immense pleasure to parody and to play. In this workshop, participants will explore:
Connecting with the audience, Parodying societal maladies and hypocrisy,
Creating complex physical characters, Playing upon contrasts of theme and rhythm, being 100 % present and captivating.
