A Clown's Philosophy

“When I was a child, I was fascinated by the spontaneity and the freedom of the clown,” says Reinhard Horstkotte, a performer who is profiled in Emmanuel Vaughn-Lee’s short documentary, Laugh Clown Laugh. Horstkotte embraces these virtues in his work as a clown. Over the course of his life, he has cultivated a rich philosophy of clowning-one that transcends sheer entertainment value. Read more:

    this was really stunning. something about the part where he was trying to put the leaves back onto the tree with the gentle music.... it really made me like... FEEL something. I'm not sure what, but there's something about that moment that really sticks with me. Maybe it's because the tree is dying, and the innocence of the character is trying to give it its leaves back... the innocence and care... I don't know. Either way, this video was beautiful, and will really stick with me.

    This is truly beautiful, deep and something I was looking for. I have no experience with clowns but lately I contemplated about the idea of what it means to be a clown. I felt intuitively that there must be some philosophy of transcending seriousness of life and the Ego. Coming back to the innocence, spontaneity and playfulness of a child, exactly like it was said in the film. Seems obvious to me now that there is such thing as a way of a clown - which is a spiritual approach to life.

    Clowns get a lot of hate and stupid comments despite their beauty, it's always been like that and I don't know how it would be if things change, maybe their beauty is hidden just for certain people to admire.

    Clown is a special job with a mission. But being a clown in Germany that's a waste of time. I didn't understand why the people on the street didn't react to him and then I realized he is in Germany and it all made sense. How sad. I'm living in Germany for almost a decade (happily married here to one of those exceptions with sense of humour) and still didn't get used to the fact that majority of Germans are emotionless robots. That brilliant sensitive man should do his clowning elsewhere ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
