Even as a child, you encounter the magic of clowning at an early age. Whether in the circus, at the fair or on the street, artists immerse people in a world of illusion, humour and boundlessness. But it is precisely this boundlessness that, paradoxically, crumbles when you take a closer look at clowning: Where are the women in the clown scene? Does gender equality, alongside socio-political inequality, also reach its limits in clowning? Is the position of women in this art form analogous to the role of women in society, where they are fighting for equality? What has happened between the beginnings of clowning in the Commedia dell'arte in the 16th century and the present day that the gender-neutral figure of the clown is largely represented by male artists? This paper will focus on these questions in particular and then invite its readers to engage in a (thought) experiment. How much of a clown is in you?
