Species of Clown(s)! Festival

Photo credit: © Stéphane Thonet Du November 13 to 29, 2026, clowns set out to conquer all of Fédération Wallonie-Brussels with the second edition of "Espèce(s) de Clown·e·s ! Festival Serious of Arts Idiots". In this context, in association with Albertine Bouldegum, La Compagnie de l'Horloge en Pièces offers various activities and shows in Braine-l’Alleud, Genappe, and Nivelles, in order to highlight this multifaceted discipline, so anchored in its Time! On November 14 and 15, a "Clown and militancy" focus will be organized with a walking parade, cabaret, and lecture. From November 21 to 22, enjoy an adult-child workshop and professional shows as a family. And, from November 27 to 28, a "clowns and life stories" focus will be presented in Braine-l’Alleud, with an improvisation evening and two shows. The whole thing will be sprinkled with intelligent rambles of silliness, wacky decor, and local food and drinks. Enough to laugh, cry, and question ourselves together on the setbacks and riches of our humanity!
