Abstract

This Project has as its axis the relationship between artistic practice and politics of the actor/performer. From the research I seek to analyze the buffoon with the effectiveness of his play in carrying out political actions in public places or scenic. This study, which belongs to the field of political performance, limited its research in this sphere of popular comic grotesque. Thus, focusing on the character of complaint and protest buffoon, I examine the play of parody and blasphemy that address their criticisms and actions always in favor of freedom. Comparing the critical gesture of buffoon with the man who graphite, for example, I examine the works of “artivists” as Reverend Billy and Guillermo Gómez-Peña who use the grotesque, irony and buffoonery to denounce the injustices against the man in capitalist society.
