BeBoz (english)

Munich, March 1st, 2008.

On this first day of March, the Muenchner Kammerspiele theater is the setting for the videoperformance "Spirit of Boz-Around the Boz in 80 Years", as part of  the Toy Void/Doing Identity festivals (curated by Bo Christian Larsson) and the first of a series of BeBoz  events in Munich all along the year 2008.

Curated by Erno Vroonen, a "kurator" and art historian, this event was focused on Jack Balance and  Julien Friedler’s "Around the Boz In 80 Years" questionnaire. The metaphysical clown (and main character of The Book of Boz) was omnipresent : in video, first, in a movie directed by Yves Anchar, and "live", through about fifty incarnations of the clown character, of different ages, sexes, or races, (contrasting  with the simple "clones" in the Ostende performance) who have invited the public and the people in the street to participate in the "Around the Boz In 80 Years" project by answering the questionnaire.
