Migrant Joker Shows The Tyranny of Exile

Published November 2nd, 2019 - 09:21 GMT

The refugee wave in Latin America sparked by Venezuela's implosion will get worse next year, aggravating a regional crisis.

Joker who roams the streets and scares passersby it's Johnny Tales, a comedian who migrated from Venezuela after being attacked by real criminals.

Migrant Joker takes his role seriously. Every day, he not only transforms himself into the body shot in Gotham, but also to fight his own misfortunes: a life in exile, separated from his family, with just enough food and shelter. Not to mention the bad moods of the unfortunate who do not appreciate his sardonic laugh.

The transformation begins in front of the mirror. Using a brush, he removes the corners of his lips, colors them in red, testifies to his face.

Transformed into a Joker, he will spend hours sneaking between cars and on the sidewalk, armed with a fake underwater weapon, entertaining, surprising by its disguise and especially by its perverse lace.

Joker plays on the streets and the actor has found a way to overcome the "migrant" when describing the melancholy of exile.
