HARLEKIN

harlekin

Besides being a clown, Pedro is also the artistic director of the small Harlekin circus, in the Bernese Oberland. But behind the fascinating world of the circus, with its music, its colors and its artists, there is a daily life that is not without its share of difficulties. Underneath Pedro’s clown makeup there is a melancholy, sickly man who has to take care of the organizational problems and the alarming decrease in spectators at the last few shows.

“I am interested in strong personalities, the ones  who don’t let themselves be influenced by the parameters which society imposes and, without letting themselves be discouraged by the difficulties which are at times inevitable, try to follow their ideals with conviction and resolve. People who want to be themselves, who want to make their own dreams come true in a world which has little room for dreams. The Pedro in Harlekin has made his dream come true. And that’s why I admire him.”
