Who Am I?

Claudio Martínez.

I began juggling at age 15 and have continued since then to develop and enrich this skill.

I discovered clown when searching for a way to present juggling on stage. During my investigation of clown, I developed two clown characters “Frutillas con Crema” and “Cotonito” whose creations set me upon the journey that has been: the pleasure of laughter.

With these characters established, I began travelling and presenting them in many different towns and cities throughout the world. (more than 30 cities). In these travels, I realised that I was able to learn, share and develop my art through the contact with different audiences and artists of various styles and skills.


Some of the teachers that have assisted in my artistic formation have been Oscar Zimmermann and Felipe Magaña (Clown); El Loco Brusca (Physical Theatre); and Roberto Escobar and Igon Lerchundi (Mime).

I have presented in theatre, music, circus and dance festivals.

I belong to the artistic group “Forestal Activo” that promotes artistic expression in public spaces, and I am a member of “ Paniko escénico”, an artistic collective that has performed internationally and includes members from Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and Chile.

Currently I am residing in Buenos Aires, Argentina, practising tight wire, and also learning and sharing with various local and international performers and artists.
