The Samovar Festival, a tribute to contemporary clowning

The festival aims to reflect the extreme effervescence that reigns in today's world of clown creation. It welcomes founding figures of the new clown, established artists and young, as-yet-undiscovered talents.

Carte blanche" events are given to various partner structures, all of which are major clown venues. These are important moments for valuable encounters and exchanges.

The festival is also an important rendezvous for the Samovar school, with spectators welcomed by the students' brass band, who also perform as opening acts on certain evenings. Last but not least, shows by former students are included in the program, helping to keep track of them and their companies.
