LEONID ENGIBARYAN: “THE CLOWN WITH SAD EYES”

Leonid-Engibaryan-1132x670

Although Leonid Engibaryan had a meteoric career that lasted only twelve years, the influence of Leonid Engibaryan (1935-1972) on modern clowning has been considerable. His untimely death also propelled him into the realm of show business legends, in the rarefied atmosphere shared by prematurely disappeared young artists who helped define a generation.

In the ring, Engibaryan’s character reflected his true off-stage persona: A fiercely independent young man, mischievous, belligerent, in constant revolt against the powers that be—whether the ringmaster in the circus ring, or SoyuzGosTsirk, the central Soviet circus organization, in real life. In this, he embodied the moods of a new Soviet youth, which danced the twist, listened to the Beatles, and tried to erase three decades of Stalinist tyranny.

Leonid Engibaryan, ‘the clown with sad eyes’, revolutionized the art of clownery by introducing lyrical tones into traditional buffoonery and grotesque sequences. According to the Spectacle journal,

“he has shown the direction. He was the innovator. He began to do clown gags that were not funny, but very sad. They ended sadly. He felt that life was not funny anymore”.

The seminar was attended by members of administrative and professorial staff of YSUIB Faculty of Applied Arts, students and guests.

During the seminar, Faina Harutyunyan exchanged her advanced experience, introduced her formula for success to the students of YSUIB “Design” and “Applied Arts” specialties.

The renowned designer touched upon the ways of selling clothes, introduced her work experience and how to start up.

She talked about advertising and advised to understand even the most demanding client, explaining what the trend is, which are the trends of the coming year.

 It was emphasized that in the design of clothing it was necessary to recognize all the designers in the style. To the question of how the price is determined, Faina replied that all the designers have their secret.  She determines the cost of her clothes so that she does not have a loss.

Her main message to students was not to miss out the opportunity to learn (as much as possible), work, build, knit, and sew.

 Feeling enthusiastic, Faina Harutyunyan inspired and motivated our students to create and work.
