Metamorphoses/Métamorphoses

Description

Here the animation artist has created a clown so versatile in the art of juggling that, between times, he even juggles himself. One moment the clown stands tossing balls, the next he becomes dismembered, following the balls about on the screen but coming together again all in one piece to finish the act. The film is in the genre of Norman McLaren, and is without words.
