Circus Clown - A brief history:
At the very beginning, the clown was born in England in the equestrian circuses, when the bosses of these circuses realized that the public was bored. They then hired peasants who did not know how to ride to interrupt the performances of the riders. (the clown invaded the track between each show.
Little by little, during the 18th century, following the different acrobatics, the clown always followed the movement in order to make the scenes funny and attractive (the jumping clown, the acrobat clown ...). It became a role in its own right when a protagonist found a way to make the room laugh without needing the performers around him, it was the first clown to be made up and costumed as a harlequin. Subsequently, this phenomenon spread to France, also known for its circuses.
He was often of fairly miserable social status and could be drawn to alcohol and violence (hence the red nose later). As time went by, he was integrated into the shows, often having the role of shortcomer to whom it happens full of misadventures, often in duo (the White clown and the Augustus).
- The White Clown has white makeup and retracted eyebrows revealing his character. According to tradition, he moves on the track always with his back to the audience, never looking at them. He uses his arms in a very dignified and demonstrative fashion, seeming to say to the audience "Look how handsome I am". His universe is settled and he is in charge.
- The Augustus is the red-nosed clown. He always wears black, white and red make up according to tradition. He can cross the track and go into the audience. Even though he's always full of good will, he still unsettles the White Clown. The clown must perform a performance through a number in which accidents follow one another. His universe often telescopes with that of the white clown who dominates him.
Over time, these clowns have evolved. The costumes, make-up and utensils have changed, the august has made up himself with colours other than red, the white clown has become a poet and musician ...
