Ten years of touring around the world with the show "Concerto for Two Clowns" marks the occasion for circus artist Julia Moa Caprez to share her experience and opens a window into a work that is still largely unknown: the art of the clown.
Photographs collected over the years punctuate her texts; they reflect an intimate world - on stage, backstage and on the road, and bear witness to a singular journey where art and life are one. Julia Moa Caprez recounts an unusual journey to the rhythm of encounters; her loves, her doubts, her passions and the ardent desire to go in search of the other and of herself.
« In a show, I’m like a bird doing a mating dance. But it’s not Auguste I want to seduce, it’s the audience.
Can they see me ? Will they want me ? Will they love me ?
Madly, with a beating heart, I await their declaration of love.
And Auguste ? He’s here with me, faithfully. We walk side by side in the deep certainty that we will not leave each other. »
