Hear me out- I think if Pierrot is typically used as a passive character indicating sadness/defeat about not being able to change things, that does also still make sense in the context of the MCR show. He’s mostly just watching/passive throughout the show- I think his literal role is to keep an eye on the boys for the Dictator and report back on their behavior, but maybe also is a character that knows he’s a part of something evil and can’t do anything to make a change. When the boys go too far, he’s tasked with killing G- an active move, yes, but something he again probably has no choice in, so he essentially chooses to not take action to refuse to participate in. And then, he does collapse to the ground, looking sad and defeated. Finally, he’s tasked with a s*icide b*mb mission to take out the audience who’ve been influenced against the Dictator by the boys. It’s devastating, but, he’s defeated- he can’t choose not to and he’s already stabbed their only hope. It’s so tragic that he can’t help but laugh. Dance. Go a little unhinged in his final moments. Because it’s tragically funny that he, a passive man who never took action, ends up having to take action that kills thousands.

It somehow reminds me of polish theatre plays about dictatorship and power like "Tango" by Mrożek or "The Shoemakers" by Witkacy.

i've been fascinated with the idea that this tour is perhaps the first time we see the actual Black Parade. TBP album and TBP band within it are framed in the narrative of the patient's memory greeting him into death so it is his nostalgic memory of whatever the actuality of TBP was/is. I think the pierrot character also ties the circus imagery of wttbp video, specifically Fear and Regret the acrobats. Part of me wonders if the spectacle we're witnessing on this tour is what the patient is remembering fondly in their final moments. Your assessment and information has been so wonderful to take in and consider from an above table perspective as well as in universe if DRAAG is using the archetypical characters to their own narratives

Yesss I was waiting for someone to mention Pagliacci! The figure of the tragic clown who serves as a mirror to make the audience feel their own complicity, the drama major in me is doing a tap dance

this is very funny to me as a swiss person, bc the only point of reference i have to pierrot is an old clown icecream named for him😭 (this may be very niche, idk if anyone else remembers this icecream but i also don't think it existed anywhere else??)

When I tell people about it, I'm telling them it's an intentional work of art that is holding a mirror to our political landscape. Every little piece from colors, to actors, to imagery on the screen, was all intentional. I'm so lucky and proud to have seen that work of art in person

Love it! ❤️Pagliacci is one of my favorite operas, every performance is so different in what the performers feel through the music and the story of the characters... the opera in itself has a lot of symbolism and commentary on the time it was written and performed.

I deadass thought it was Koko the clown from the Fleischer cartoons. Koko tends to be combative and defiant to authority in the cartoons and Gerard Way in particular would be familiar with the character

It always goes back to Bowie. The play you mention is brilliant I've been wanting to look into what operas/plays they are referencing.
