The Tony Clifton Circus was founded in 2001.
Their aim is to be a shining neon sign, bordered by flashing coloured light bulbs, that announces the presence of something unexpected.

About Me:
Their aim is to be a shining neon sign, bordered by flashing coloured light bulbs, that announces the presence of something unexpected.
Winner in 2003 of the Arts de Carrer Prize in Barcelona and guest of international festival in Italy, Spain, Austria, Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovina, France, Swiss, Germany, England, Luxemburg, Nederlands, Czech Republic.
The conception and idea of the Tony Clifton Circus was unleashed with the meeting of Anthony Jerome Clifton, an artist more or less unknown, italo-american, whose being can be summed up in three words, "life is strange".
The formation of this "circus of anomaly" is the responsibility of Nicola Danesi de Luca and Iacopo Fulgi, two strikingly different clowns.
Nicola is the brain, the thinker. He attempts to be rational, political, conscious, loves the spoken word, the sounds and the meanings of words, and on stage he would like to sing...
Iacopo is physical, a victim of his impulses, willingly unconscious due to his lack of belief in reason. He dances, sweats, and on stage, he would like to vomit.
With them, Enzo Palazzoni, eclectic musician, fanatic guitarist and hardened incendiary, become quite soon soundtrack and vital protagonist of their shows.
To convey their true vision and the direction of their research pertaining to the work of Tony Clifton Circus is not easy. What they attempt to bring to the stage is the eccentric, and the anomaly. They love to make people
laugh but even more, to make the spectator choke on his own laughter.
The Tony Clifton Circus wants to be recognized, appreciated, but for them the best way is not to cuddle or submit to the desires of the public, but to present the spectators something perhaps more embarrassing than amusing.
Based on the precedent intro, the Tony Clifton shows acquire their true form with a mix between madness and subtle elegance. They experiment with extreme comedy, or even better, comic extremism.
At the base of it all is the underlying, irrational pleasure to present this to the public eye. Like children, they play, revelling in the possibility to do what they feel like without questioning the meaning or purpose.
For them, this has the maximum importance, and to watch them in their delirium is not at all reassuring.
With love and a bit of hate,
Tony Clifton Circus
