Bouffon: Dare to Mock with Aitor Basauri

Celebration Barn Theater

Heighten your sense of play in this grotesque, forbidden, and dangerous world in which the Bouffon lives!

2022 Workshops

In-person workshops at Celebration Barn in South Paris, Maine: Summer 2022.

A love of the grotesque, the forbidden, of bad taste, irony, parody, and all things deformed: these are the toys and tools of the Bouffon, the outcast who lives to provoke the audience without losing the love of the audience. In this rich theatrical world of invention, the Bouffon lives to provoke the audience without losing their love. The stakes could not be higher: if they lose the love of the audience, the Bouffon will get KILLED. In this workshop, we will play games and exercises that will help every performer find that place where their personal Bouffon is—a place of risk, a place of danger, a place of daring. In contrast to the Clown, the key to the Bouffon is discovering the intelligence of the performer in parodying, their cleverness in daring to mock and provoke the audience, while simultaneously staying alive, a balancing act which requires supreme sensitivity.Make sure to fill out <a href="https://forms.gle/QZnDyGnyUQBgk2jYA" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">a workshop application</a> after you make your payment if you have not already done soon.
