Book 3: Enduring the Laughter Festival Again

27th March 2017Apuleius, Barbara Cleveland, Minus Plato Today, Risus Festival, The Golden Ass Instantly IllustratedApuleius, Barbara Cleveland, Risus Festival, The Golden Ass Instantly IllustratedMinus Plato

In The One Hour Laugh the four members of Barbara Cleveland perform a routine of endurance laughter. Over the course of the hour, their laughter travels between tedium to strain, to genuine hilarity, to humiliation. Barbara Cleveland’s unsettling laughter parodies the austerity of performance art documentation through overt theatricality and seemingly senseless enjoyment.
