A Presença da Poética Clown em La Strada

This paper aims to point out the features that constitute the essence of clown poetic. The understanding of the main features of this language was necessary because it is a fundamental premise that we may understand how such language is manifested in the central characters: Zampano and Gelsomina in La Strada (1954), Federico Fellini film. To perform this analysis, I propose to the reader a reflection on the clown poetic essence from different theoretical perspectives on this language, to then point out the traits of the characters in question, which correspond to this essence. This research is directed to all those who have interest in clown language and aims to contribute to the reflection on the various aesthetic possibilities that this essence offers.Keywords: Clown; Fellini; La Strada.“The presence of poetic clown in La Strada”APRESENÇA DA POÉTICA CLOWNEM LA STRADA
