I’ve just added two new photos to the “Eddie’s Photos” page on the Crackmask site, and they’re both little nods to my number‑one favourite film of all time, Le Ballon Rouge (The Red Balloon).
That film has followed me all my life. I even uncovered a remarkable true story in Venice about the boy in the film, his father, and his grandmother, who produced it, a story I’ll share properly soon. What I can say is this: the red balloon has been part of almost every performance I’ve done for the past four decades. It’s become a kind of thread running through my work, my travels, and the strange, joyful business of being Clown Eckie... If you want a peek, the photos are now up on crackmask.com ... just look for Eddie’s Photos.
