My understanding of Buffoon currently is very distorted, I think it is used to mock or poke fun of a act in society such as politics, religion, racism, gender and many more, In order to show how stupid something actually is because the viewers will see it as a foolish act because of the way it is played off. I really like this style because it handles real issues by making them look stupid maybe to persuade the view point of the people watching the performance. This style also helps with expression because you can speak your mind with no shame, and no need to hold back.
