Micha Goldberg, Rosmary Velasquez, Giulia Piana, Giulia Bonfiglio, Pierre Patrice Kasses & Castélie Yalombo

Micha Goldberg, Rosmary Velasquez, Giulia Piana, Giulia Bonfiglio, Pierre Patrice Kasses and Castélie Yalombo research the old and looked down figure of the clown. Often full of clichés and commodified for all kinds of purposes, including commercial, the clown figure mainly appears today as a weird provocation at kids birthday parties or used as a mask for violent acts.

The research also focuses on the links between clowny and queer aesthetics, leaning towards a more than human representation. Both universes operate outside the norm and have the capacity to open imaginations, fantasies and dreams.

During the residency in the context of SMELLS LIKE CIRCUS, they will disseminate actions before and after the shows of the festival and work towards a group performance to be created in the future.
