“Clown Between Space and Human”, a site-specific & interactive project that brings together clowning, physical theatre, and research on how we relate to our environment. The project cultivates awareness on human–environment relations in an accessible and absurd way, deepening our connection with inanimate structures & objects, under the guidance of clowns.
Clowns invite us to rediscover connections between people, nature, city; to give time to details we often overlook. They encourage exploring our surroundings with playfulness and vulnerability. A street, square; desire paths or unusual traces– through the city’s structures, rhythms, ordinariness, peculiarities; the project desires a playful laboratory in public space where the audience may also become participants ( even a co-creators). It creates an experience that can shift perceptions, as clowns have great potential for it. A clown is a companion who can guide us toward finding meaning & poetry in unexpected places.
