“Dont worry: I will do a terrible job.” In this series of interactive performances, the undercover clown (Eva Salazar) invites You, yes, you, to re-imagine intimacy through the absurd, the repetition of spoken words, and the sweet crevice that exists between sound and music. Please, allow yourself to be disarmed (disturbed?) and surrender to the melodies that emerge from your own voice when engaging in human-kind’s favorite activity: chanting. Together, we will reach a trance-like state where melodies and rhythmic games may emerge through the repetition and distortion of a simple, familiar sentence. All is allowed, all is permitted. This is your final warning. 

 Through activations in public spaces, galleries, parks and other venues, this mediocre clown will interweave texts pulled from cultural references, memes, and original ‘scores’ to beckon and seduce you into soundmaking. You, the audience, implicit and complicit in this act, are invited to inhabit the absurd space of the performer: reaching a collective intimacy woven through the sounds of our voices and, hopefully, reaching a moment of collective catharsis. 

Congratulations: I am sorry to inform you that you are now a performer. Welcome to the circus of poets.
