Clownbaret is a company specialising in classical clowning, with a track record built on humour, playfulness and direct interaction with the audience. Its shows recapture the essence of the traditional clown, featuring distinct characters, comic situations and a simple, visual and universal theatrical language.
Their work draws on the clown’s own tools: body language, gestures, clumsiness, surprise, playfulness and interaction with the audience. Through these elements, the company creates situations brimming with humour and spontaneity, in which the audience’s participation becomes a fundamental part of the show.
