Description
Tristan Remy's "Clown Scenes" presents a long-lost theatrical treasure, rescuing the classic routines of the one-ring circus from obscurity. Through the scenes, the author has captured the physicality and manner of delivery of the performances, making them suitable for re-enactment. The book contains forty-eight scenes, written for just three actors, and features the verbal and physical elements of the performances. Bernard Sahlins's translation is well-suited to modern audiences, and the scenes have been continually remounted in Europe, testifying to their enduring vitality and universality. These scenes, and the clowns who created and performed them, now take their place in our theatrical legacy, paying homage to the debt owed to the ring clown by the great comedians of our time.
