Ulice brez imen, ni\u010d stolpnic, ni\u010d uradov. Ni bilo vrat, skozi katera bi lahko vstopil. A ravno tam, na brezimenskem postajali\u0161\u010du, se je avtobus za trenutek ustavil \u2013 in izstopil sem, kot da bi me nekaj poklicalo. Tam sem najprej zagledal \u010dloveka, ki je s podplati uravnaval svet \u2013 previdno, kot bi prepri\u010deval gravitacijo, naj ne izgubi pomena. Ob njem je drugi vrtel planete na nevidni osi: diski so \u017eareli in peli, kot bi igrali melodijo son\u010dnega vetra. <span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It was puzzling, but not senseless.&nbsp;<\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"letter-spacing: 1px;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">I noticed others: someone juggling balls that returned to his hands like they had travelled from a distant planet, another climbing a ladder with no end, leaning against the sky, and one walking on a tightrope stretched above the pavement \u2013 as if walking the line <strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #008080;\">between life and vanishing.<\/span><\/strong> Below him, two friends signalled with gestures to guide his steps, so he wouldn\u2019t fall into the abyss or into forgetting.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"letter-spacing: 1px;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">They didn\u2019t speak \u2013 they communicated with movement, with flowers, with soap bubbles, ropes, knives, with dance. Every gesture was a word, every glance a voice. They all cooperated \u2013 no one was playing. They took risks, but they didn\u2019t fall. And if anyone lost their balance, they caught him gently in silence.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"letter-spacing: 1px;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">When I came closer, they looked at me, just for a moment.

Le vie senza nomi, niente grattacieli, nessun ufficio. Non c'erano porte dove io potessi entrare. E proprio l\u00ec, ad una fermata anonima, la corriera si ferm\u00f2 per un attimo \u2013 ed io scesi come se qualcuno mi avesse chiamato.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-family: Poor Story;\">Per prima cosa vidi un uomo che con le piante dei piedi stava appiannando il mondo \u2013 cautamente, come se volesse convincere la forza di gravit\u00e0 a non perdere il significato. Accanto a lui, un altro stava rotando i pianeti attorno un'asse invisibile. I dischi giravano raggianti e cantavano \u2013 era come sentir suonare la melodia del vento solare. Intrigante, ma non insensato.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-family: Poor Story;\">Vidi anche altri. Uno che getta palline in aria, ma quelle gli ricadono sempre nelle mani \u2013 come stessero tornando da un pianeta lontano. E poi un altro che sta salendo una scala senza fine, appoggiata all'arco del cielo. E uno ancora che cammina su uno spago disteso oltre il marciapiede. Come se camminasse sul confine tra la vita e la sparizione. Sotto, i suoi due compagni gli indicano gesticolando dove mettere il piede per non cadere nella rovina o sparire in dimenticanza.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-family: Poor Story;\">Non parlano. Si fanno comprendere con gesti, con dei fiori, con le bolle di sapone, con spaghi o coltelli, o perfino con passi di danza. Ogni gesto \u00e8 una parola. Ogni sguardo \u00e8 una voce. Collaborano tutti, nessuno gioca. Rischiano, ma nessuno cade. Se uno perde l'equilibrio, lo acchiappano dolcemente nella rete del silenzio.<\/span><br><span style=\"font-family: Poor Story;\">Quando mi avvicinai mi guardarono per un po'. Come per dirmi: \u00bbAnche tu puoi essere uno di noi. Se solo sei capace di camminare su quella linea sottile che divide la luce dall'ombra. Quella linea tra la risata che fa eco ed il silenzio della caduta che risuona nel tempo. Ogni volta per\u00f2 che tu cadi, ti rialzi cantando quella canzone invisibile. La canzone che il mondo sente solo quando ricorda come risuona ci\u00f2 che da tempo ormai \u00e8 gi\u00e0 stato detto senza parole.\u00ab<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-row-container\" id=\"nav-row\"><div class=\"vce-row vce-row--has-col-background

Let the play begin!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>\u2026 but we haven't fully agreed on the rules of the game yet: Clowns are unpredictable and mysterious creatures, and there can be tricky plots in which many things are illogical, meaningless or incomprehensible. But clowns already know how and what, just as every child is right with his own idea of \u200b\u200bthe world. And clowns each have their own reason for tears or laughter. As the controversial Polish theater critic and theorist Jan Kott wrote:<em>&nbsp;\u201cOnly laughter respects no taboo, \/\u2026\/ only the sense of the comic has within itself the power to help us endure the tragedy of existence.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p>The City of Clowns is being created as a continuous collaboration between professional clown artists from Slovenia and renowned circus artists from all over Europe. The content developed through workshops and artist residencies will be presented in the form of joint performances and performances and interventions in public space. Audiences of all ages and random passers-by will be presented with circus tricks and skills, modern clown characters and comic plots, expressed through the physical clown language, which knows no boundaries and is understood by everyone.<\/p>\r\n<p>The clown, as the archetype of the child, is pure and free, and as such is perhaps the last bearer of the fundamental message that he had a duty to convey long ago, when he was still a court jester, by all means of expression. In this, words were not in the first place. A thought expressed in words is already its interpretation. Therefore, the clown's primary mission remains his free thought, which he knows how to express without words. The clown says a lot, although he is often silent.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vce-row-container\" data-vce-boxed-width=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-row vce-row--col-gap-30 vce-row-equal-height vce-row-content--top\" id=\"el-5403f0ae\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-5403f0ae\"><div class=\"vce-row-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\"><div class=\"vce-col vce-col--md-auto vce-col--xs-1 vce-col--xs-last vce-col--xs-first vce-col--sm-last vce-col--sm-first vce-col--md-last vce-col--lg-last vce-col--xl-last vce-col--md-first vce-col--lg-first vce-col--xl-first\" id=\"el-95745d4a\"><div class=\"vce-col-inner\" data-vce-do-apply=\"border margin background  el-95745d4a\"><div class=\"vce-col-content\" data-vce-element-content=\"true\" data-vce-do-apply=\"padding el-95745d4a\"><div class=\"vce-text-block\" id=\"EKIPA\"><div class=\"vce-text-block-wrapper vce\" id=\"el-736ca178\" data-vce-do-apply=\"all el-736ca178\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Team<\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Vodilno<\/span> The leading role (artistic direction, mentoring, direction, performances, production) in the City of Clowns project is played by the founders and members of the Bufeto Institute, Ravil and Natalia Sultanov, top creators in the field of clowning and new circus, graduates of the State School of Circus and Theater Arts in Moscow.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Zavod Bufeto<\/strong> is the first professional organization in Slovenia that creates and develops clown-circus theater and the field of new circus.
