The public of “La Fête” now knows the new French circus quite well. Suited to all audiences, this form of contemporary circus entered “La Fête” in 2004. With the trampoline of the AOC Company, followed by the acrobatic humour of the Compagnie 111, the dancing circus of the Compagnie W, the airborne figures of ‘9.81’ and the Chinese pole of the Compagnie O Ultimo Momento, all disciplines have been presented , or nearly all...


“A wonderful world” is a duo of modern clowns. Between Buster Keaton, Jacques Tati or Monty Python, this is a silent version of Laurel & Hardy in colour. Borrowing from techniques used in gestural theatre, clowns, manipulation of objects and music, Mister B and Mister P are two anachronic characters who create humour and poetry from banal gestures or the simplest situations. One is fragile, instinctive and animal, the other professorial, slightly disillusioned and… as fragile. With almost nothing, just some paper, three lengths of string, no decor, not even text, Mister B and Mister P will make you laugh and stir up your emotions!
Since 1992, the burlesque duo BP Zoom consisting of Philippe Martz and Bernie Collins has constantly developed their characters, taking the clown where one least expects it. They could have met at an old students’ reunion at the Jacques Lecoq School but it was in backstage rooms that they discovered a shared passion: simply being funny through the art of clowns. Their performances, most often wordless, take them all over the world, and regardless of the country, parents end up laughing as much as children!
