just like in a predissolutionary phase where everything seems to head towards an end, clowns have this magical ability to make us close our ears to the chaos, binding us in a moment of joy and laughter. after a long briefing, where strategies and risks are dissected, the sight of clowns feels like being given permission to start again, with a sense of hope and resilience. their art reminds us that even in spaces where access is restricted, our spirits need not be constrained.
