As a spaniard, I think this is a great way to put it.
It's not that we consider him a clown, or aren't aware how extraordinarily skilled he is. It's just that he's got such a one-off charismatic personality that your mind ends up classifying him as something separate from reality.
There's no need to set a stage or act like he's an otherworldly being. Tamariz just strolls by looking like he's just out of bed, casually defies physics laws, says goodbye and walks away, because he's Tamariz; in the same way that the Roadrunner can keep running through the drawing of a road because he's the roadrunner.
It's just the nature of things.
- dieselgate 4y agoThe comparison to roadrunner is an awesome one for someone not familiar with Tamariz
- pvaldes 4y agoGreat way to see it. The man should be an honorific Sesame Street character. Is as close to a real life muppet as you can find.
- narag 4y agoThe comparison with Kermit is, for people of certain age, very natural. We first knew both of them at the same time. And Tamariz used to appear in TV for children. Not only he performed awesome tricks, he also made us laugh with his explosive style. Instant connection with children.
- felipeerias 4y agoTamariz comes on stage as a child’s idea of a wizard: someone eccentric, whimsical and somewhat messy who is constantly doing amazing things without much apparent thought or planning.
