Atsara.

Trashigang - East Bhutan.

Les Atsaras (sorte de bouffons) participent à toutes les fêtes religieuses. Ils ont pour fonction de distraire le public lors des danses en se moquant des moines et en lançant des plaisanteries salaces. Dans une société assez rigide ils jouissent, le temps du Tshechu, d’une permissivité totale et servent en quelque sorte de soupape à la société Bhoutanaise en permettant l’expression d’une certaine contestation.


The Atsaras (a kind of jester) take part in all religious festivals. Their function is to entertain the public during the dances by mocking monks and making salacious jokes. In a rather rigid society they enjoy, the time of the Tshechu, a total permissiveness and serve as a kind of valve to the Bhutanese society by allowing the expression of a certain protest.
