The dramaturgy as a shaping element
of the clown’s repertoire
ABSTRACT
The careers of two circus clowns – Roger Avanzi and Arlindo
Pimenta – serve as a guide to observe how the theatricality
acquired in the circus environment through the circus-theater is
transposed into clown drama. The researches of the playwright
and theater director Carlos Alberto Soffredini and Fernando
Bolognese, together with my experiences, highlight the impor-
tance of circus theater in structuring the clown’s poetics.
