The 109 hosts the CLOWN POWER festival created and supported by the Gorgomar Company with this year a choice sponsor: the actor Denis Lavant.
For this 5th edition, with all shows free, the audience will be moved, shaken, or hilarious. It's a great way to rejuvenate through laughter, because clowns are essential: with or without noses, alone or in duos/trios, in buns or without hair, they have only one goal: to change your life...
"The clown is a poet of disorder, a kind of misfit who makes you see life through the eyes of a child. He reminds us of life's fragility and our inability to grasp it. It is disorder that spreads through the spectator, shaken by invigorating laughter."
The CLOWN POWER festival "champions" the clown in all its forms, from new aesthetics, from laughter to gnashing of teeth, from physical feats to technical discoveries, and above all, emotion! An opportunity to discover artists from all over France who demonstrate the inventiveness and rich production of this unique art form.
This eclectic program of around ten shows, including burlesque dramas, solo clowning (with Fred Blin), acrobatic circus, aerial circus, and comic drama, also features a brass band, a fantastic concert by Didier Super and his band Discount (in collaboration with Panda Events), an exhibition, a performance poet (Tristan Blumel), film screenings, an introduction to the circus, and clowning games. A festival to do yourself some good, whether young or old, and which will be free and accessible to all.
A bit of seriousness, but never quite, with Clown's Corner, a round table discussion featuring the great clown family (on September 27), and a booth by La Ronde des Clowns, the Nice association of hospital clowns.
