12th Klovnbuf
International Festival of New Circus
and Contemporary Clown
15th - 24th June 2019
Ljubljana - Vrhnika - Murska Sobota
Our world today is noise and chaos, disorder, lunacy … it’s like circus.
We are at liberty to do anything yet we have no freedom.
Let us step into another world.
Let us get away from this mad society, let us run off with the circus.
In a world which cannot be taken seriously, serious clowning is the sole salvation:
an art form that opens doors even where there aren’t any.
And this door is being opened with a bang in order to shake off any imposed ideas
about what is and what is not true.
In clowning, nothing is true yet everything is real:
noise turns into music, chaos becomes circus.
So, let us slam that door open and listen to the echo of Silence:
Bang! Boom! Boof! Klovnbuf!
