d'Amour Bouffon is looking for love. Crowds love the tricks he will do in
search for his perfect partner. From juggling numerous dangerous objects,
walking through the flames of hell, dancing the can can, to doing his own
version of the Tour de France on a 7 ft unicycle. Street Theatre slightly
unlike you will have seen before.
Add
guaranteed laughter to your festival.
Joe strives for an original
style of street performance, turning the street into a space where true
theatre happens, where a character moves beyond just tricks. He uses mask,
physical theatre, clown, mime, juggling and acrobatic/physical tricks to
tell stories, creating play and laughter as well as moments of a deeper
human recognition. |
