Harlequin, Pierrot, Clown - the jester and buffoon who makes others laugh, has many names and a history that can be traced back to the ancient theater. The actors know how to present scenes of everyday life in an improvising manner in song, dance or gesture in an overly clear and sometimes drastic manner with an unerring sense for situational comedy and slapstick-like, artistic contributions. There is often a lack of satirical reference to current social and political conditions. Especially popular with children is the clown, who performs his jokes in the circus for amusement. Not infrequently belongs to the mask of the joker but also a thoughtful or even sad side.
