WHO WE ARE

The Image of the wall is clear: the fear of the other. It is, of course, the wall on a neighborhood or territory scale - not the low wall that surrounds the garden of the house - the wall that divides, opposes, attacks. It produces an illusory power and delays the resolution of conflicts, the exchange of words, the most basic urbanity. The builder of walls is a polluter of humanity! He doesn't even imagine that the wall, any wall, suggests freedom, calls for departure, for adventure.

Thierry Paquot (Urban anthropologist)

L’Immagine del muro è chiara: la paura dell’altro. Si tratta, certo, del muro a misura di quartiere o di territorio-non del muretto che cinge il giardino di casa- del muro che divide, oppone, aggredisce. Produce una potenza illusoria e ritarda la soluzione dei conflitti, lo scambio di parole, la più elementare urbanità. Il costruttore di muri è un inquinatore dell’umanità! Non immagina nemmeno che il muro, qualsiasi muro, suggerisce la libertà, richiama alla partenza, all’avventura.

Two clowns across the world

WHAT  WE  DO

With this project we want to collect the sounds and the voices of the city, we will ask questions such as: What do you need? Where do you feel welcomed? What is your dream? What is home? What is hospitality? What is the best thing to do now? What can be done through art today…? What can help? We will record the stories of those who will want to share them with us, we will discover another pieces of ourselves, another pieces of us all.

OUR PHILOSOFY

Go towards the others in a disposition of deep listening, with oneself and with the others, to open and allow acceptance…

Go towards the others not through information which today is very far from reality, most of the time,

but through open arms and open hearts.                       ​

Today, in a time when we are asked to stay separate, to stay away, clowns look with pure, innocent eyes, with the eyes of children, the eyes of stranger, the eyes of wonder.

"How do you heal someone without getting close?" Clowns ask, they cannot resist, clowns cannot stop trying to go beyond the walls that divide us and in doing so they cannot stop noticing and recording and enjoying the complexity and the richness of the countries and of the people they approach. The clown creates bridges where, through the wonder of continuous discoveries,

the miracle of the “I is YOU” is staged. The Other is You!

Today, in 2021, we are still hampered by the differences of skin, race and religions and so we are unable to see the substantial unity of all beings.  All those differences keep up the lie.

But through the action of going torwards, going to listen, to learn, to meet, this lie is exposed. We have to dissolve the clichés that each and everyone of us has about strangers, different.

We are all human beings. Equal, brothers and sisters, all worthy of the same respect.

We must understand that our only possible cure lies in going towards the others to try to understand

how they are feeling and what they really think!
