Experience
Clown Magic / The Cloud


No circus show would be complete without clowns! The two characters amuse the audience with acts that are simply absurd.

Clown Magic: A clear "miseen abyme": this act is both a show within a show and a parody of traditional magicians and circus acts. Is it entertainment for the inhabitants of this strange world? Or, a moment of levity in an otherwise dramatically charged storyline? Here the clowns drag a spectator into a ramshackle magic routine and makes him disappear, never quite managing to hide him behind the cheap curtain.

Zeppelin: A choir of angelic voices sings solemnly as the Skywatcher appears with a cloud in tow. Shining, pulsating, incandescent blue, the cloud is not well. He lays down the cloud’s rope and walks up to it, tight, like a stairway to... dare we say it? Then, with a sweet paternal kiss on the forehead, he lets the cloud drift off again. Whatever can be done? In a scene that harkens back to the beginning of our story, the cloud’s light is snuffed out. In its place, the cloud coughs up a cacophony of television sounds, suggesting the generations of pollution that have fouled our air.
