Acrobats of Failure
Failure due to handling, failure due to imagination, and the discrepancy between actual and desired. The character clown is an expert in the subject and, in his "stagings of failure," presents the audience with a whole potpourri of entertaining ways to fail. He repeatedly finds a different perspective through reinterpretation or a witty punchline.
- In this way, the problem reveals itself as a very vital stimulus for play.
Thus, the supposed problem itself becomes the solution because it opens up a whole new level of observation and action.
It becomes play when the stimulus is accepted and creatively shaped and shaped.
On the relationship level, we encounter the "failing partner" as a congenial adversary in the playful shadow world of the character clown.
The beauty of the character clown is that accepting and understanding the complications enables development and transformation.
The audience has the choice to laugh at the clown's clumsiness or recognize themselves in it. For this moment, all narrow-mindedness loses its power. This is where humor comes into play.
