Résumé :
This book brings together more than 6,000 clown artists from all over the world from the 18th century until today. The 2021 edition tells the story of these artists who were able to make people laugh, cry, and also provoke. This alphabetical dictionary also includes glossaries on the types of clownish characters, on Circassian and clownish jargon as well as on the comic procedures developed over the centuries. The clown art is multiple, the practices are varied and the approach of each artist is unique. Clown performers have touched the human soul by presenting a simple, vulnerable and naive character, always rising to great and small difficulties with great resilience.
