The raw material of the circus show is the artist's body, as something at times sublime, at times grotesque. The sublime body, on the floor or in the heights, challenges, as a sort of spectacle, the laws of nature. Afterwards, the show is "interrupted" and the public is invaded by the relaxation and the grotesquerie of the clowns. The circus show thus moves, with ease and mastery, between laughter and death.
Circus; clown; laughter
