Chuck My Life is a performance that, through butoh-clowning, shows an individual’s attempt to cope with the demands of everyday life. The main character, Chuck, tries to live a normal life, but he draws his knowledge of how to function and exist from various life “experts” and “coaches”. He is trapped in a cycle of imitated patterns, even though he completely lacks an understanding of their meaning. Chuck’s greatest passion is inflatable balloons, with which he loves to play, surrounds himself, and draws joy for life from them. Chuck tries to find compatibility between his passion and the capitalist world in which he lives, and therefore tries everything possible to survive materially while remaining happy. By combining the introspective and intense movement language of butoh with the authenticity, vulnerability, and humor of clowning, a synthesis emerges that offers us a glimpse into an exceptional state of being. This brings to the surface the most fragile, but also the harshest aspects of the human personality.
