in a few strokes: Leo Bassi, clown

[by Javier de Blas in La Rioja]  Last Friday we saw him at Sala Negra in LogroƱo. He is just authentical. We are lucky to have someone of his stature, as an artist and also as a person.

He
opened the stage with a night table, a duck on it, some Coke cans on
the floor and the projection of a clown-angel, in the background.

Then
he told us about his “successes as a loser”…


…and he proceded to self-mortifyg lying on broken glasses (just a little…) as -he said- the Sioux shamans do to pay their faults with the people.
Finally he dressed himself as a king-clown…


 

…To tell us that his family was filmed by the LumiĆØre brothers when they were juggling. Everything was so full of humor but also so honest that we all got out with our hearts captivated.
