From behind a second curtain, Tonio, dressed as his commedia character Taddeo, addresses the audience. He reminds the audience that actors have feelings too, and that the show is about real people. Performers:

Canio (Pagliaccio): Viktor Antipenko.
Nedda (Colombina): Barno Ismatullaeva.
Tonio (Taddeo): Daniel Scofield.
Peppe (Arlecchino): Pawel Brozek.
