La clownférence is a proposal for a reading demonstration through a theoretical-practical exhibition, an excavation of the body, an archaeology with scalpel and jackhammer. The attempt to assess “clown” is based on the elaboration of 5 color concepts.

White authority figure, rationalist and cult of reason. Function or character. Judicial sphere. and hieratic. Good and evil

Red. Figure of idiocy (up to and including the last of the jerks). Cult of the funny

Temperament, character or play of masks. stupidity, clumsiness, silliness bewilderment gutlessness...

The good and the bad

Green. Figure of the protoclown. Budding phenomenist. Cult of wonder. Process or creature. Child of the world. Sphere: primitive immediacy. Vibration, flow, tone, metabolism: the active anatomy of energies

Noir. . Shamanic figure. Master of disorder, morosopher, ethical immoralism: Force of resistance to rationality. from creature to archetype. . dread, ambivalence and reversal of values...

Bleu who has just written everything you've just read and who smurfed socioculturally.

From this panorama, try to shed some light on the figure of the clown in its stereotypes, its omnipresence, its ambivalence and its multivocity. Then, from these speculations, flirt with the idea of elaborating a praxis of a contemporary or at least extemporaneous clown.
