Rebel Clowns: Political disruptors
I am fascinated by clowns and the clown archetype as a character with transcultural and transpersonal significance. The clown’s costume, make-up, and antics can be viewed as expressions from a deep archetypal space. As an archetype, the Clown, as an expression of the Trickster, carries and expresses bipolar energies of silliness/seriousness, play/work, hidden/known, creating/destroying, and order/disorder. Culturally and personally the clown serves many functions. One of his functions is as a carrier of the transcendent function facilitating an Ego-Self axis.
I look forward to bringing this energy into my performance piece at the castle with my jelly prints and jelly vision glasses.
