Aquilombar-se em caconversas - Revisitando memórias e desmontando processos do palhaço Caco em busca de uma palhaçaria negra

Abstract

What happens to a clown when he recognizes himself as black? The article presents the dismantling process of the Caco clown, triggering the recognition of its blackness, triggered by conversations and exchanges with black artists. The work problematizes the formation of the clown based on race clippings, in an auto-ethnographic way, crossing the memories of the clown self and its "cacocaminhada", revisiting sensations, insecurities and accidents, in parallel with the rediscovery of this identity erased by the structural racism of our society. . The research is presented under a performative writing uniting the sensitive speech of the clown Caco, with the notes of researcher Jean in debate with authors such as Ricardo Puccetti, Jacques Lecoq, Philippe Gaulier, Abdias do Nascimento, Frances Fanon, among other voices that together form this reflective cacophony in search of a path to the black clown. Keys-words: black-clown, process, dismantling.
