Clown

A clown is a performer, often characterized by colorful costumes, exaggerated features, and playful antics. Traditionally seen in circuses and festivals, clowns use humor, physical comedy, and sometimes props to entertain audiences of all ages. They can take various forms, including the classic "whiteface" clown, the "auguste" clown with a more whimsical appearance, and the "character" clown who impersonates specific roles. Clowns often engage in slapstick humor, magic tricks, and improvisation, aiming to evoke laughter and joy. Beyond entertainment, they may also symbolize the complexity of human emotions, sometimes even reflecting deeper themes of sadness and joy.
