Everything you need to know about the history of clowns without having to read some big, fat book!

In a mere 45 minutes we will answer all of these questions and more: Is it true that clowns created the universe? Have clowns always been freaks? How many different kinds of clowns are there, and why is there only one word for them all? Where do gags come from? How about that red nose? Is clown intelligence an oxymoron…or yet another one of those multiple intelligences we read about? Other opinions welcome.

On the second day of the Zagreb Clown Festival, 8 May, come at 17:00 to the Marija Jurić Zagorka Library at Krvavi most and find out everything you never knew you wanted to know about the history of clowns!

The lecture will be in English.

Free admission.
