Buffoons come from somewhere else. They are connected to the verticality of mystery. They are part of the relationship between heaven and earth, of which they reverse their values. They spit on the heavens and invoke the earth. Buffoons are organized hierarchically, and live in a perfect society without conflict, where each person finds their exact place. They exhibit before us, in an anomalous manner—close to a parade, our proper folly. They play our society—the themes of power, science, religion—organized according to precise rules, where the most feeble may be in charge of everyone. The buffoons denounce and at the same time propose a tragic space.
The buffoon is a creature come to tell us everything we don't want to know about ourselves, to mock everything we hold most dear. The buffoon is full of rage, of spite, of mal intent, but most of all, full of fun. Everything is a good time.
Come birth your buffoon and discover your grotesque glory. The rhythm and the dance hammer the floor, and the instruments of percussion beat the time in the rituals that prepare the event…
