- Balls, Clown
Representation(s)
As part of La Nuit du Cirquean international event organized by Territoires de Cirque, with the support of the French Ministry of Culture.
A scene that symbolizes a cramped interior, a few boards, a table, stools. Balls, juggling objects, playmates and imaginary characters, populate every corner of the furniture… A lonely man, a bit of a ham, gets his feet caught in the folds of life, falls and gets up again… falls and gets up again. He opens us little by little the drawers of his inner world to let us hear the noise of inside.
Behind this juggling and burlesque show, funny and touching, of a high technicality, hides a loneliness that will be revealed as the challenges and feats are crossed. Playing to survive, inventing an elsewhere.
Followed by Charlie Chaplin’s Le Cirque at 10pm.
Majordôme Company
Established in 2017, specializes in the performing arts sector. Quentin Brevet, its founder, launches an innovative solo project and gradually opens the drawers of his world…
Quentin Brevet co-founded, in 2011, the company Kadavresky. With more than 300 performances in France and Europe, he plays the character of the Butler in the show L’effet escargot, where he mixes juggling, contemporary dance, clowning and acrobatics. This project allowed him to consolidate his stage skills and to develop his artistic qualities. After this rich and fruitful experience, he embarked on a solo project that was close to his heart. Inspired by his character in The Butler, he moves away from it to deepen his clownish aspects. For this, Quentin will train as a clown with Michel Dallaire and Fred Blin.
