Review: Red Bastard
The Red Bastard is pretty freakin’ creepy. This was my introduction to bouffon, and yes, Red Bastard is mentioned in the Wikipedia entry for buffon.
While the show featured a lot of physical comedy and political satire, above all Red Bastard intimidates the audience, invades their personal space, subjects them to gross and unpleasant challenges, and puts everyone on notice that they might be next. Some will find this absolutely thrilling, and others squirm-inducing. Your call!
