About

Starting from mythological and philosophical places, and exploring the character of Albano Beirão, Rui Paixão questions his place as a clown, but also that of the audience as an audience and, eventually, as a clown as well. We all have a notion (and fear) of ridicule, but perhaps it is possible to find reasons to laugh in the discomfort. By taking off, not wearing, the mask.

In this creation, premiered in 2021, Rui Paixão confronts the audience with stereotyped images that are part of our imagination when we talk about clowns, confusing them by adulterating and confronting them with texts and intentions that expand the meaning of the word “clown”.

Part of Trengo - Festival de Circo do Porto, "Albano" will be at Coliseu Porto Ageas with two intimate sessions, on July 6th, at 7 pm and 9:30 pm.
