This study deals with the clown s art inasmuch as art can reawaken something dead in the living. It also deals with the value that contemporary culture nourishes in laughter and humorism in the 21st century. To this purpose, we have developed our sign of art in clown with the help of Deleuze and Guattari s signs theory; through the observation of clown shows, scenes and comical happenings; as well as through the researcher s own experience of clown s language. Clown s humour happens in the rupture of expectations, in the fraudulent dismissal of plans of reference and routine plans, and in the courage to expose oneself to failure and disillusion. We arrived at the conclusion that the blind incorporation of the cult of humour as an oil for social interaction is a trap to the comic artist, but that the vigour or the art s sign and the provocation of the laughable is independent of the humouristic society. Laughter needs the path of reference in order to break it. Living without a well structured reference plan is the contemporary illusion of the evolutionary men, who thinks that it is possible to substitute the living experience of the reference plan for the flexibility that takes nothing seriously. However, for the humourist, even this plan of flexibility is worth a joke when it becomes a reference plan. The effect of a clown s laughter is similar to the effect of small black rats that jump off dark alleyways in horror films, and the clown s art is perhaps something of an even more accidental order. This study intends to make valuable what is vigourous in the clown as a sign of art and as such to contribute to the discussion around laughter and humour in contemporary society, as well as looking into its clinical, political and aesthetic implications. Alongside the thesis is a DVD that contains scenes of some of the cited clowns, which punctuate the type of reflection used in this thesis
