This is the second generation of the legendary Rudi-Llata clown entree.
The act here at Pinder is led by Carmen, the daughter of Pepi Ruiz (Rudi Llata), who possibly was one of the funniest entree clowns ever.
They used to do a musical routine and the "automatic restaurant" piece.
The white clown in the picture must be Carmen's husband, Oslo, but I'm not sure. Carmen started to do the entree' about ten years ago.
One of the best renditions of Rudi-Llata musical entree' is today done by the Martini family (one of them having performed with original Rudi Llatas).

The white face clown of the picture is Neil, son of Carmen and Oslo (auugusto). The other "augusto" of the troupe is the brother of Carmen.

There is great film footage of the Rudi-Llata entree in the 1953 german film "Feuerwerk", also known as "Oh,My Papa". It was filmed on Cirkus Belli.
