ABSTRACT
This article is about the recording, photographic at first and then written, accomplished by the clown Cadilac, and highlights the ways of acting in small "mambembe" circuses and the beginning of a circus troupe, in the period between 1950 and 1970. The research, completed in February 2012, had as its final result the thesis in the field of Performing Arts entitled The memory of the mambembe circus: the clown Cadilac and the reinvention of a tradition. For this article, a survey research was used, with data crossing between interviews, documents from public archives, photos, the clown's own writings, beyond several publications on the subject.
