When I was very young and had just started mime and clown school, a close friend older than me, whom I felt was a sort of guide, told me: “The new Messiah will arrive unexpectedly, perhaps dressed as a tumbler riding a unicycle, and who knows… it may be that not only one will manifest itself but there will be many, so that their word can spread more quickly and it will not be so easy to crucify them all”. This image/metaphor would have remained imprinted in my mind as a “young offspring”: perhaps because I wanted to be one of them.
