Clown Dimitri - "Le Porteur" ("The Porter", 1988)

[@samuelbhend2521]

here for all the english speakers, a rough translation/explanation: "Clown Dimitri" (1935-2016) was the most known swiss clown here in switzerland in his days. This film here is a shortened version of his sketch "Le Porteur" - "The Portier", from an event in 1988. The sketch itself which dates back to 1962 was Dimitri's oldest sketch. It revolves around different mysterious boxes and suitcases he's handling as a portier, and the exploring of them. It was at it's time the very top of clowning here in switzerland and very well reviewed in press and by publicum back then. This film was shown on swiss tv as a tribute after his death in 2016. There was many things he did in art: Theater (he founded some and also a Theatre school) painting, singing, writing, and a Familyshow with his whole Family. 4 of his 5 kids still work in theatre/circus.

Have never heard of Dimitri before. I'm from the UK and was born long after the 60s.. 40 years after.. but I loved this and I appreciate that it's on KZbin for us all to see

[@keremkarabulut860]

This weekend ı got a clown job so I watched this awsome play, maybe it helps me.

[@StephenSmart]

First time I have seen this man....Brilliant and his facial expressions are wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

[@BigWarthog]

Showed that to my friend who plays guitar. He laughed his ass off after the pick gag

[@diegosalvadorv]

i think the "trying hard to be funny" of course is part of what makes this clown interesting and fun. He´s like a child. It takes patience and heart, open your mind.

Para los quejosos les recuerdo que es un humor de hace más de 30 años , de aquí a un tiempo verán de las cosas que se reían actualmente y dirán lo mismo.

[@alexandrebidaud3289]

Cet humour, comme vous l'écrivez, n'a pas 30 ans, il est INTEMPOREL ! Et c'est plus que de l'humour, c'est de la pure poésie ! Quant à 'l'humour' d'aujourd'hui - beaucoup d' 'artistes' se croyant des 'humoristes', alors que chez nombre d'entre eux, seules, la médiocrité et la vulgarité dominent - celui-ci ne peut que tomber rapidement et impitoyablement aux oubliettes !

[@cyrushormusjee5112]

When nitwit's, don't understand/ get, the message behind this act, of his. There has to be negative comments. VERY SAD. ONE NEEDS, BALLS OF STEEL TO PERFORM, OF WHAT HE DOES, . HIS DEDICATION, TO MASTER/ PERFORM WAS HIS FREEWILL. TO GET HOME, BREAD. HONESTLY... THINK BEFORE, YOU PASS, NEGATIVE COMMENTS ON ANYONE... CHEERS, Dimitri. Regards...

this was dimitri's (swiss clown, lived 1935-2016) oldest sketch, originating in 1962. The film is a shortened version of a show in 1988 and was shown on swiss tv as a tribute after his death. It indeed is very boring today, but when it came out 1962 and the following 3 decades it was, according to press and publicum, THE show to see... Yes. we swiss have always been little bit boring:) but if you take humor from the 60's I'm sure all around the world it will be seen as boring today...

Its performance art. And 30 years ago. Its not meant to make you laugh. He speaks like Njinsky as Petroushka. Trying to express something against all odds.

[@AndersonFPinto]

[@faulkgough1768]

I love all the "there is no slap-stick." "and, he is not funny" comments. The original clowns were not the goofballs that there are today. like, who is the other good one.. Avner the excentric .

[@weebjeez]

Avner the Eccentric is fucking HILARIOUS, what you are talking about? That man is an absolute DELIGHT! This guy is very talented, I'll give you that. But he's CLEARLY going for laughs at some points, and applause at others... and the awkward silence between what was meant to be a trick and the applause he was waiting for (at times) is deafening. Like when he flipped the plate... Literally something anyone can do... he was clearly waiting for applause... And I thought he was doing it for effect: waiting for applause on an "easy trick" then doing something much more impressive (something that Avner is VERY GOOD at)... but he didn't. He just went on to the next part of the performance, with that being the clear "prestige" of the plate portion. But, the opening, with the guitar? Very good. Losing the pick, getting a new one, losing it again, getting a new one, all that... golden. He played it very well. His object work was ON POINT (I think he over-sold it, at times, but for the most part, on point). His plate-work? Absolutely fantastic, except towards the end, when he ditched the stick. I was very impressed with his work with the stick, in general, let alone once he started in with the plate. And what he did with the ball(s)? Forget about it. Absolutely masterful. But his random distractions, the things which should clue us into his character's personality and charm? They were bland. And boring. And uninspired. And they were things which someone might do to entertain a baby. And it made the whole act feel weaker. I feel like comparing him to Avner, as you did, is a disservice to them BOTH. While Avner is incredibly funny, he tends to focus more on the comedy (though his technical skill is nothing to balk at), so that makes sense. However, Dimitri clearly was more motivated to show off the technical skill of "clowing" and he did so masterfully, even though his stage persona had the personality of wet cardboard.

Ich liebe guten humor, kreativen humor. Clowns fand ich schon als kind gruselig. Warum sollte man über einen menschen lachen der offensichtlich schwer gestörte dinge tut die weder schön noch tiefgründig noch irgendwie weise sind? Was soll denn die botschaft von so tricksereien sein? Jeder clown gibt mir nur das gleiche gefühl wie wenn ich stephen kings film darüber sehe, das schon bevor es den film gab. Wenn man schon die aufmerksamkeit von kindern hat gibt es unendlich wichtigere dinge denen mitzugeben fürs leben als so kranker schwachsinn. Was sollen kinder denn davon lernen ausser leere akrobatik, trickserei und sich über andere lustig machen.

Brainscrew for the poor kids who could learn infinitely better things for life instead of laughing at others who do nonsense stuff, complete useless mental abuse of kids this is. If i had kids and such a clown approaches them, i would destroy the demon with just 3 words,

[@bloodytusk9897]

Номер сильно затянут, юмор не всегда понятен зрителю. Это скорее забавно, нежели весело или смешно. Клоунада должна быть максимально понятна зрителю, каждое движение выверено и отрепетировано. На импровизацию вроде бы не похоже, масса лишних телодвижений. Были же мастера, такие как Чаплин, Никулин, Румянцев (Карандаш) и т.д. у которых есть чему поучиться...
