Dimitri

Dimitri has been the most famous living Swiss clown for decades. Even people who have never seen him on stage or in the circus know his broad smile, the shadowed, large eyes beneath his pageboy haircut, his lovingly childlike demeanor, his prancing and shuffling - and this spans across all generations. He is known not only for his performances as a clown but also for his humanitarian and ecological commitment, for his training center for stage artists, as an author and director of plays, as a draftsman and watercolorist. The book documents Dimitri's work in all its diversity, which is reflected in the texts, images, and their graphic connections. They allow one to feel the intellectual threads that weave through Dimitri's life as a total work of art. Historical images and documents specifically taken for this book are included.
