Le Chapoto

Le Chapoto draws on our collective memories of the "traditional" circus and funfair, where the clown is often the central character, that can spread laughter but also fear.

A maintenance worker, accompanied by his trolley, enters the “circus” and starts to clean the “stage”. Then he finds a clown's nose. As he searches for the owner of this nose, he finds household objects such as brooms, mops, toilet paper and sponges and one by one, the objects, now wearing a red nose, become characters in a small circus. This way, young children get a new, more reassuring perspective of the clown, as they relate to their own everyday life.
