A clown is a comic character
The majestic door a red nose, a make-up using the black, the red and the white, a wig, clothing burlesques of bright color, shoes immense; it is completely impertinent and launches out in all the buffooneries. The white clown, vêtu of a chatoyant costume, is, seemingl
The word clown (API /klun/), borrowed from English, comes from Germanic the klönne meaning rustic man, unbalance, since an indicating word, at the origin a lump of earth [1]. In English, one finds as clod and closes, meaning as well mound as unbalance, idiot. The English word clown initially appointed a peasant then a lout. To the XVI E century it passed in the vocabulary of the theatre to designate a country buffoon.
Even if it draws its filiation from old grotesque characters, the clown itself is a relatively recent creation. It is in England, to the XVIII E century, which it appears for the first time, in the equestrian circuses. The directors of these establishments, in order to pack their programs, engaged of the farm hands who could not ride a horse to intersect the performances with the true riders. Installed in a role of servant simpleton, they made laugh as much by their costumes of peasants, at the sides of the bullfighter's costumes of the other artists, that by the comic postures which they adopted, sometimes with their costs.
The clowns followed the movement of the numbers presented, by caricaturing them to make laugh (the jumping clown, the clown acrobat…). This character evolved/moved to become less and less comic: distinguished, adopting clothing with noble and increasingly heavy fabrics with the use of the spangles, it made team with the majestic one. This last became the comic character par excellence, the clown being used as development. It is the configuration which one knows today. The majestic one took little by little its autonomy, when some found the means of making laugh the room without needing the spangled clown. The majestic one was essential then as a solitary artist, sometimes proposing with a spectator to be used to him as partner.
The clown can carry a pseudonym inspired of the childish language (in French language, the use of the redoubling of syllable or sounds is thus current) such as for example: Jojo, Kiki,
* The white clown has a white make-up, and an eyebrow (more rarely of) traced on his face called signature which reveal the character of the clown. The red is used for the lips, the nostrils and the ears. A fly, reference unquestionable to the marchionesses, is posed on the chin or the cheek. The clown is beautiful, elegant. Air, semi-sparkling, malicious, sometimes authoritative, it puts forward the majestic one, the emphasize.
The Auguste
* The Auguste is the clown with the red nose. He destabilizes the white clown, even if he is full with good will. The clown must carry out a performance through a number in which the accidents are connected. Its universe often runs up against that of the white clown who dominates it.
With time, costumes, make-up and accessories evolved/moved
The clown was a traditional character of the theatre élisabéthain. If he were gaffor, oaf and ridiculous, he also showed a great good sense, and sometimes even of a cynicism close to that of the buffoon. He appeared in the popular theatre in England to the XV E century and replaced the character of vice old (too much old and not enough convenient to make laugh) which was not other than the servant and henchman of the devil. Obviously, the clown being a character of comedy, it was never equal to the underhand tasks that its Master entrusted to him, which served obviously the dramaturgy. The name of this character was Clod, this name evolved/moved one does not know how as a clown.
With the XIX E century, with the theatre, certain artists wanted to mix Shakespeare and the circus. It was a total vacuum, the public wanted acrobatics, not text. Even if certain clowns are famous thanks to the few sentences which they launched like "1, 2,3…" or "Music! ", that does not make inevitably clown-actors of them.
contemporary Scene, to the XX E century [to modify]
To the XX E century, the actors burlesques made their appearance like Raymond Devos and Coluche, which, in all their spectacles, kept in their gestures and frame of mind a typical attitude of the clown.
In second half of the XX E century took place of the experiments of meeting and fusion between the various kinds clownesques and the theatre. A certain number of "types" emerged everywhere in the world. Ground, Buffo, Dimitri, Franz-Josef Bogner, Slava Polunin, Jango Edwards, Bolek Polivka, are examples.
Clown and stereotyped [to modify]
Strongly typified character, the clown, in the burlesque beginning character, saw his diverted image: first of all the prototype of the sad clown, "obliged appeared to make laugh even when its heart is large" (the white clown is in addition close, except for some spangles, of the nostalgic Lunar Pierrot); then characters of clowns malefic, who use the attraction that they exert near the children to kill them (such as the protean monster of That, novel of Stephen King), to torture them or violate them (such as Tweedles, of the group of avant-garde The Residents).
Clown, rock'n'roll and dance [to modify]
For a few years, the character of the clown has been integrated in a form of punk rock'n'roll, in particular by the French groups Bérurier Noir, Wriggles as by Insane Clown Poses or the Unpleasant Clowns. One can also note the emergence of the krump (current dance resulting from Los Angeles, at the instigation of Tommy the clown resulting from the hip hop clowning. One speaks even about Clown Core, mixture of metal and of rap, in a dark environment directed by clowns malefic, one can quote as example Bawdy Festival
CIRCA, the large army of the clowns [to modify] the
The initiative to create an army (parodic) rebellious clowns was born in England in 2003, at the time of the entry in war against Iraq. The idea was to prolong a dimension festive and subversive resulting from the old popular cultures of transgression (carnival, festival of insane…), to leave the traditional demonstrations plan-plan, to allow each one to bring its own ideas and its motivation thanks to a completely horizontal organization. From the English experiment of the Army Clown, groups of the same type developed in Denmark, in Belgium, in Germany and France (with in particular the VAT in Paris, but also the GIGN in Lyon, CRS with Clermont, the CRY in Marseilles, 73eme BCA in Chambéry, Nezfragés in the Gironde…).
About the Author
Does anyone know if Dark Horse comics will put out more new Groo?
It has been over 4 years since Groo: Death and Taxes. I have asked Mark Evanier via his blog but no response. I know they are working on the movie script, but come ON. Groo me!! Anyone know the story?
I know that Sergio wants to take a break from Groo for a short while, but he has recently done a SOLO issue for Dark Horse. Mark also wants to do a few projects outside Groo, but I'd doubt that either one will stay away very much longer. Sergio seems to have an inexhaustible imagination when it comes to Groo. For the official word, contact Dark Horse on their web site. B.
