According to Gaulier, Bouffon originated with the “ugly people” of France, people with disfiguring scars, with deformities, lepers. Craig has chosen to portray Love Bug Louie as having a four foot tall, misshapen body. He wears a suit that shortens his frame and sticks out his “ass” and “stomach”. He becomes one of the “ugly people”. Just as Lon Chaney chose to perform Quasimodo. The set reflects this choice. It is strewn with detritus of modern society. Old computer keyboards, cardboard, a tube style television, an abandoned mannequin, the modern equivalent of the swamp to which the “ugly people” were usually banished. During festivals in the French Renaissance, the ugly people were expected to entertain the “beautiful people”. According to Gaulier, during the performances, the bouffon’s goal was to get away with insulting or disgusting the “beautiful people” as much as possible
