Flights of fancy, studying one s own humanity, laughing at oneself, putting under discussion habits and everyday routine, wondering, laughing and relieving stress, exorcing monsters and common fears. This is the main aim of the project. From an artistic point of view, the company uses clowning as the main tool to interact with the audience through a simple language; not the one of rationality, but but the one of emotions. Their target is a direct, personal and spontaneous relationship with the audience. There is no wall, no barrier between the public and the performer. Sharing is the main feature of DuoDorant study: is there any collective emotion more contagious than laughter? DuoDorant s intention is no to preserve the clown while renovating its clothes, trying to release the clown role from dangerous clichés which turned the character of the clown into a jester, an advertising icon, a baby sitter, Knowledge and skills of this ancient trade were once secretly passed down from father to son, while nowdays the clown community is well aware of being part of a big family and carrier of a profession which can be passed down, and in turn preserved by others.
