Sad Clown is an emotional excavation that bridges the absurd and the profound, using the timeless figure of the clown as a vessel for collective release. Inspired by Emmet Kelly’s iconic sad clown, with a drag-infused twist, Clara Saito’s clown is both a relic of tradition and a modern disruptor, blending theatricality with raw humanity. The makeup becomes a transformative mask—an emblem of exaggerated sorrow that transcends time, rooted in the haunting beauty of bygone vaudeville and the radical self-expression of drag.

There are tons of public performances on the street on Saturday 20th. Keep an eye on the programme. This performance kicks off for the De Straat Op protest.
