Bouffon/Weave

Theatre
Written By Zya Kane

ABOUT

‘Bouffon', a modern style invented by French Theatre maker, Jaques Le Coque that has a main focus in the art of mockery. Bouffon represents the outcast, the one who fails to uphold the social etiquette expected from an integrated and fully functional member of society. They speak for the excluded, the shunned, and untouchable: those that we ignore because of our embarrassment and guilt. We realise that our position in society is upheld by those we consider to be lesser or greater than ourselves. Bouffons challenge our position in society through parody and satire, holding up a mirror to moralising, judgmental, social airs and graces.
