    What is Bouffon?

    Answering the age old question of Bouffon, Tom and Ian get into how, where and why Bouffon came to be. Bouffon is a style of performance in which the aim is to provoke emotion (usually laughter in the uncomfortable) in order to gain clarity or resonance in a particular subject - the more taboo, raucous, or edgy the better. If you're interested in researching more about Bouffon then feel free to have a look through our sources below! Let us know if we missed something interesting.
