Clown Spectacle
By and with Xavier Bouvier and Benoît Devos

Producer: OKIDOK and Louis Spagna

OKIDOK presents, a simple, apt title which describes the whole performance. This title is like a challenge because here laughter reigns; it stays on the lips of the public of all ages, now gentle, now in loud bursts.

There are two funny characters in stage: red nosed, outlandish in appearance recalling the clowns of the East. But this traditional winking of the eye doubles as a strong taste of the imaginary, combined with an innate sense of the comic and unequalled acrobatic technique. This is done as much with elements which make a fantastic spectacle, a mysterious world of a clown duo, at the frontier of the cartoon sketches of Tex Avery and the theatre of objects.

A succession of sketches as improbable as they are hilarious, trifles with tricks and other antics. A restraint in which several single objects jostle about, excuses for new gags, a new fantasy: a ball falling out of the sky, an unruly carrot, a door leading to a void, strange criss-crossing with unending invention. Everything is looks, mimics, strong relationships also, because these acolytes are by turn subjects, rivals or allies. A whole spectacle built with finesse and simplicity. The spectacle is recognised by the Tournées Arts et Vies.

Realised with the help of the French Community, General Administration of Culture, General Service of Scenic Arts.

Duration of the spectacle: 1h15 without an interval.
