KLAKØR
Opening Ceremony
Klakør/Claqueurs is an organized body of professional applauders. Hiring people to applaud dramatic performances was common in classical times, and by the 16th-century the modern claque was developed. This was a way of educating ones audience, but also a strategy of manipulating the audience's opinion of the play. In the year 1820 claques underwent serious systematization when an agency in Paris opened to manage and supply claqueurs, and claque became an institution.
