We are very excited to present this year’s selection of performances and programs!!!
This year’s program will offer you five performances, a performance-lecture, a master class, a cabaret show, all in the relaxed atmosphere of Triko Cirkus Studio, with a Clown Caffe, a place for direct encounters between artists and the audience during the festival.
The festival, as every year, begins with a master class:
Master class: Avner Eisenberg – INTERESTED, NOT INTERESTING
A unique opportunity to learn from the legendary clown pedagogue! Participants from all over the world will also have the opportunity to play in the Open Stage evening – a presentation of works in progress.
Program of performances:
AVANTI – Compagnia Due (Switzerland)
Two students of the famous Dimitri bring an emotional clown story about a little man who becomes a giant through his performance! A timeless story with European charm!
AZAR – Jef Johnson (USA)
The master of abstract clownery shares his experiences through an unpredictable and suggestive interactive performance.
SOLONI – Ricardo Cornelius (Spain)
A Latin American clown that combines humor and emotional depth through the depiction of the fight against gravity…
THE REQUIEM OF SOPHIE WITHMAN – Clémence Caillouel (France)
The French performer reinterprets the requiem through unique clown poetics, dark burlesque, reviving and self-ironizing human tragedy in general…
THE INNOCENCE OF HUMOR – Joanna Bassi (Germany)
A descendant of the legendary circus line Bassi shares personal memories and precious photos from the family album in a special lecture about the white clown.
We close the festival with a cabaret show in which, in addition to our local performers, artists who participated in the festival will perform their short numbers. Hilary Chaplain will do two of her numbers and everything will be seasoned with the performance of Avner The Eccentric himself!!!
Join us in celebrating the art of clowning, where laughter and emotion merge into an unforgettable experience!
