Albano

From mythological and philosophical places, and from the exploration of the character of Albano Beirão, Rui Paixão questions his place as a clown, but also that of the audience as audience and, eventually, as a clown as well. We all have a notion (and fear) of ridicule, but perhaps it is possible to arrange reasons to laugh in discomfort. Undressing, not wearing, the mask. In this creation, premiered in 2021, Rui Paixão confronts the viewer with stereotypes that are part of our imagination when we talk about clowns, turning them around by tampering and confronting them with texts and intentions that expand the meaning of the word “clown”.
