Henrietta Wind, affectionately referred to for years as "The Little Finch of Picatinny" by the town street sweeper, wooed her way into the hearts of dozens in this small Jersey hamlet before reinventing herself in the breakthrough 1967 album CLOWNTEUSE.
Clownteuse stops by Sunday At SOMArts to give us a preview of "Popera," her forthcoming commission from The Dogpatch Opera Company.
Or perhaps she'll treat us to a number from her musical "Cyclones," slated to debut at Barbary Coast Amusements in Winter, 2010.
Or perhaps she'll attempt an inspired improvisation from her repertoire of questionable balloon sculptures.
Je souviens quand j'avais 5 ans, j'ai passe La Clownteuse dans Le Marais. Pour cet instant la, ma vie etais trop lourde. Des que j'ai traverse la rue, tout etais mieux dans mon coeur.
