Il Clown Dei Clown - David Larible

The new theater season 2024-2025 of the Curci Theater in Barletta continues.

Next appointment: The Clown of Clowns - David Larible

For years defined by the press as "the greatest classic clown of our time", David Larible is perhaps the only living comedian capable of performing both for the intimate audience of theaters and in front of audiences such as that of Madison Square Garden, where he was seen by over 120,000 people in just one weekend. His smiling face has appeared for years on the big digital screens of Times Square in New York, where he performed with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, the legendary three-ring circus that presents its shows in the most important venues throughout North America. The story of a theater janitor who dreams of becoming a clown... And succeeds! He arrives on tiptoe, with a distracted look, hands in his pockets and an uncertain step. But a few gestures turn his walk into a stupendous avalanche of fun. He captivates, seduces, moves. In his gags he always plays with the great classic myths of Italian culture: the prima ballerina, opera, classical music. An unmistakable style that draws from the circus tradition and meets Fellini, passing through the Commedia dell'Arte. A fluid and coordinated staging of Larible's best acts, in which visual gags alternate with musical pieces (he plays five instruments!). At the end of the show, after making the audience abandon their masks, David can leave his own to modestly return to the role of janitor, finishing where he started: being an ordinary man. With the soul of a clown. The Clown of Clowns.
