“When I was a child, I was fascinated by the spontaneity and the freedom of the clown,” says Reinhard Horstkotte, a performer who is profiled in Emmanuel Vaughn-Lee’s short documentary, Laugh Clown Laugh. Horstkotte embraces these virtues in his work as a clown. Over the course of his life, he has cultivated a rich philosophy of clowning-one that transcends sheer entertainment value. Read more:

It’s sad how they media made clowns something to be afraid about.

@reneastle8447 2 года назад

What if we can turn things around for the better and have the media make clowns something to care about, to laugh along with, and make them part of the fun and whimsey again? That would be brilliant.

@thebigonejosh 4 года назад

this was really stunning. something about the part where he was trying to put the leaves back onto the tree with the gentle music.... it really made me like... FEEL something. I'm not sure what, but there's something about that moment that really sticks with me. Maybe it's because the tree is dying, and the innocence of the character is trying to give it its leaves back... the innocence and care... I don't know. Either way, this video was beautiful, and will really stick with me.

@danielrozek1126 5 лет назад

This is truly beautiful, deep and something I was looking for. I have no experience with clowns but lately I contemplated about the idea of what it means to be a clown. I felt intuitively that there must be some philosophy of transcending seriousness of life and the Ego. Coming back to the innocence, spontaneity and playfulness of a child, exactly like it was said in the film. Seems obvious to me now that there is such thing as a way of a clown - which is a spiritual approach to life.

@Riri.22320 7 месяцев назад

This whole video gave me goosebumps (not out of fear) just the deep emotion and beauty of it all I've been fasinated by clowns since I was a little girl I'm currently 16 about to be 17 in March and before I get older I want to dig deeper into the history of clowning and I want to actually look for clown collages and really get off my feet and let my clown girl come out this video inspired me to achieve my dream because to be a clown means to be free of humiliation because isn't that the point of being a clown? being clumsy and silly to cheer others around you up?

This video is part of a playlist Ive made; the philosophy of the Clown as portrayed here is moving, poignant, beautiful. It makes me want to be more sincere, less serious, and to follow the clown call in everything I do through life. Make Art sing from out of my soul. Love from Florida, U.S. ❤️❤️❤️🤡

@valborg_ 3 года назад

Clowns get a lot of hate and stupid comments despite their beauty, it's always been like that and I don't know how it would be if things change, maybe their beauty is hidden just for certain people to admire. Anyways, I loved this video, it made me cry a bit cause I love clowns, this is quality content.

This man and I have the same walk, the way he isn't set on a straight path, the way he hesitates when he steps on the barrier. I wish I could put my shame aside and be a clown, but I get embarrassed so easily, but then again maybe that could be an element of my clown side

@PrejudicePotatoe 2 года назад

The reason people are so serious about the clown thing is probably related to returning to the silliness and ignorance of being a child, as he said in a way that's both fun and melancholic.

Clown is a special job with a mission. But being a clown in Germany that's a waste of time. I didn't understand why the people on the street didn't react to him and then I realized he is in Germany and it all made sense. How sad. I'm living in Germany for almost a decade (happily married here to one of those exceptions with sense of humour) and still didn't get used to the fact that majority of Germans are emotionless robots. That brilliant sensitive man should do his clowning elsewhere ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

name of the music?

@dreamsalamander 4 года назад

I dunno the name but it's produced by H.Scott Salinas and Emmanuel Vaughan Lee. Several soundtracks by HSS alone can be found on RU-vid but the ones with the most similar feel to this came when I searched Emmanuel Vaughan Lee. a soundtrack for a film called Elemental which is produced by both EVL and HSS.

@smolson8471 5 лет назад

Asssd Asssde When the clown’s narrating it seems like that. But they have clips of the clown just doing his act for like 30 seconds and the moods really seem to go against each other. I see what you’re saying though.
