![Jese Leos](https://borrowing.deedeebook.com/author/joseph-foster.jpg)
In the realm of performance art, where boundaries are pushed and conventions challenged, Francine Satriale's groundbreaking work, "Clowns Are People Too," stands as a poignant and evocative masterpiece. This multimedia installation, which premiered in 2015, invites us to confront stereotypes, question our perceptions, and embrace the humanity hidden beneath the painted smiles and exaggerated costumes of clowns.
The Art of Clowning: A Delicate Balance
Satriale's work delves into the complex and often misunderstood world of clowns. Clowns, traditionally portrayed as silly and frivolous entertainers, are revealed as multifaceted performers who balance humor with vulnerability. Through her immersive installation, Satriale challenges the notion that clowning is merely a superficial act, instead showcasing its depth, nuance, and emotional resonance.

Society's Shadow: The Stigma of Clowning
Satriale's work also confronts the stigma that often surrounds clowns in society. Fear, ridicule, and discrimination are common experiences for these performers, who face misconceptions and prejudice both on and off stage. Satriale's installation challenges these societal biases, inviting us to question why clowns are so frequently marginalized and misunderstood.
