Le Clown est nous, mais plus…
plus sensible, plus curieux, plus ouvert, extra généreux, extra vagant…
Il est le savant qui est dans le bébé.
Un poète qui est un orang-outan.
Le clown sort quand on n’attend pas.
Il vit entre le oui et le non, entre la gauche et le droit, entre le haut et le bas, bref dans le monde de l’impossible ou tout est possible. C’est la ou se trouve le jeu.
L’énergie de clown est “excentrique”.
L’esprit du clown est concentrique (petit point rouge qui rayonne)
