Annie, a memory of Jean-Claude Carrière

She thought that the laughter can raise, and not opposite. Because the laughter, truth, the good laughter, supposes an interior quality, a requirement which is the condition of Article It often spoke about “clownesque art”. It knew that this fundamental quality can be everywhere, for example in the sawdust of the tracks, near the horse droppings. She also thought that this quality must be waked up and strengthened very early in the children, of which it circus addressed herself initially. She said that an artist of circus, at least, can do something. It gave itself a prolongation of itself. And this effort constantly the constrained one with more high-quality. With the intense assistance of the danger.
She did not say - but she knew - that she had been by instinct, with Pierre Étaix, with the same sources of what is called the new circus, one of the acutest forms of the expression contemporaine.
Forty years ago, we very modestly carried out our first tests for a film which forever considering the day, and Pierre wanted to intend to play of this instrument which is not entitled to the Petit Larousse and which is called Concertina. Only, or almost, Annie, already very famous, could play about it. We did not know it. Pierre called it, it came at once (it was in the offices of Jacques Tati, street Dumont d' Urville) and very simply, for us two, it played. Among the few images which I will try to keep more the possible for a long time, it there with his, this nimble day, its music, its fingers, its smile, and its black eyes fixed on us.
