dimarts, 26 de novembre de 2002
From last Friday 22nd of November to the first of December, takes place the Tenth edition of the International Clown Festival 'Charlie Rivel's Memorial', which is celebrated in Cornellà (Baix Llobregat) every two years. More than 40 companies participate to the event, that bring together the best clowns of the moment.
One of the main attractions of the festival is the show 'Euroclowns', created especially for the festival. 'Euroclowns' gathers the most prestigious circus clowns. It is an event unique in the world. Another very interesting show is the production 'Clowntemporani', a mixture of humour, dance and juggling. 'Clowntemporani' has got Russian and French artists as well as the Catalans Leandre and Claire. It’s worth saying that Russian artists are well present at the festival, and this is not strange: their skills is admired around the world. Obviously, the festival cares especially about children. The 'Festival Menut' offers various shows full of humour and tenderness for the youngest ones. The Sant Idelfons market is the scenery where children will enjoy more themselves with all the shows taking place there. Clowns are very versatile people. Artists from head to foot. The International Clown Festival treat them like they deserve, without the simplifications that some times are unfairly made.  
Charlie Rivel, an universal clown
+ Charlie Rivel, one of the best clowns all over the world
Josep Andreu Lasserre was one of the best and more popular clowns all over the world. Known with the artistic name of Charlie Rivel, he was born in Cubelles in 1898, a son of a circus artists family: his father was a trapeze artist and his mother a funambulist. Rivel did his first performance at 2 years of age. He became famous around the world after his imitations of Charlot (Charlie Chaplin). He used a chair and a guitar for his performances and always wore a long red dress and big shoes. Charlie Rivel understood children very well, so he could make them laugh all the time. And not only children, the same used to happen with adults.
Making the world smile)
+ 'Clowns without frontiers' help children of the world.
This is the main objective of 'Clowns Without Frontiers', an organization born in 1994 because of an expedition Tortell Poltrona did to Croatia, a country that had suffered a long and terrible war. 'Clowns Without Frontiers' want to relieve psychological stress from children living in areas of war and where living conditions are very difficult. At the same time they want to show to the citizens of our country what's the situation of those areas of conflict. This organisation has already been to many countries such as Bosnia, Guatemala, Brasil or Cuba.
Clowns on the cinema)
+ Charles Chaplin, a great actor and a great 'clown'
Usually, clowns appear related to circus, but this is to simplify things. The world of the cinema, for example, has given great 'clowns' capable to make laugh and entertain millions and millions of people through the big screen. There are lots of examples: Charles Chaplin, Buster Keaton, the Marx Brothers and many others. Then, it's not strange that the 'Filmoteca de Catalunya' remembered those charismatic characters last weekend projecting emblematic films like 'The Circus', 'The Clowns', 'The suitor', 'Yoyo' and many others. It was a necessary recognition.
