FATUS CIRCUS


		“A clown of modern panic, Fatus' burlesque mind is a blender to the world.” Le Midi Libre Here is a clown for the 21st century, one who confuses recent news and yesterday's movies, a distressed nomad who escapes within. Fatus has his finger on the pulse of the world inside himself, wonders about the cosmos and the march of men. Tuned in to the soundtrack of his mind, he does a two-step with his rebellious ego. “With André Breton's scissors, I cut a suit of Kafka and Keaton colors. I borrowed a quill from Mistinguette, dipped it in Frank Zappa's inkwell and, in a ballet of gestures, human words and sounds, I wrote this symphony of western noise." A tragi-comical cartoon, an offbeat brand of comedy, the comic of our confusion.” An eccentric and literate theatrical experience, both hilarious and alarming, Fatus dances his way through Corpus. If laughter is the polite form of despair, it is also the modesty of the sacred.

		Played in excerpts at various festivals, Corpus has already won several awards, among them the "Bouffon d'Or" at the Tournon Festival.
