Cartoon - Solo clownesque de 50 minutes pour 4 à 12 ans et familles -
Prononcé à la française, Cartoon fait référence à cette matière fibreuse toute cartonnée mais également au langage des dessins animés si caractérisé par le rythme, la fantaisie, l’imagination débridée et l’étonnement.
Par le jeu physique, l’acrobatie et l’art clownesque, Cartoon aborde les enjeux du recyclage avec simplicité en s’appuyant sur les thèmes de l’imaginaire, de l’amour et de la résilience.
Faire naître le rire avec la poésie de l’éphémère, moteur clownesque de l’univers Cartoon.
Synopsis
%20c.jpg)
Frak is responsible for handling waste in a large company and carries out the orders of his boss whom he calls Chief. He is proud of it and wants to accomplish his task with a lot of professionalism, but above all with a lot of pleasure and cannot help playing with the cardboard that Chief asks him to throw in the dumpster.
Aware of environmental issues, Frak quickly understood that the dumpster, like the planet, could not be filled indefinitely and adopted the 3 Rs strategy: Reduce, Recycle but above all Reuse and created large epic frescoes or comic parodies with cardboard.
Naive, he will seize love in the passage of a letter found by chance. Full of hope, he will prepare for the ultimate encounter.
With his resilience, his positive approach to life and his contagious imagination, Frak will inspire everyone to help the planet… by playing with cardboard.

“Energetic, funny and friendly, Frak knew how to light sparks in the eyes of his audience. »
—Florence from L'Anglicane
"A great show, all the children had a good laugh, even the 2-year-old told me about the clown at home! Very original, with the boxes and the paper, a very simple but brilliant idea!
As in the old days with Sol and Goblet.
A big big BRAVO!!!
MUST SEE! Absolutely!”
—Louise de Santis/ spectator
"Cartoon is a show all in simplicity that will for sure make young and old laugh each time!"

Cartoon is available in different formats to adapt to all types of installations and reach the widest possible audience.
