The Two of Spades

"IT'S SIMPLE, EVERYTHING IS COMPLICATED. Philippe is an old employee of the theater where a major international event is to be held. From clumsiness to minor disasters, he does his best to prepare the stage for the event. But he is constantly distracted from his task, attracted by the only thing that interests him: acting. Playing theater, playing lecturer, playing with a diabolo, playing at producing a music video. Perhaps someone will finally discover his many talents? Let's hope so!

Philippe encounters a thousand and one problems in his work. He becomes a victim of events, because he's so naive and doesn't understand what's going on. Since he's constantly reacting, he forgets the how and the why. Philippe's world, like all clowns, is similar to that of childhood, in the way he learns and reacts to events. He goes from one state of mind to another in a split second.

BIO :

The story of Les Deux de Pique begins with the meeting of Tamara Bousquet and Philippe Trépanier, who have been sharing the stage in numerous contexts since 2015. The creativity of Nicolas Boivin-Gravel, circus artist and head trainer at Cirque Éloise, meets that of the duo. Their complicity, evident from the outset, testifies to a friendly, accessible approach imbued with sensitivity and absurdist humor. Perceiving a promising vein, they founded the company Les Deux de Pique. A shared passion for the art of clowning unites the three Deux de Pique. Since the start of their career, the company's founders have reached thousands of spectators of all ages, in North and South America, Europe and Oceania. In the years to come, they intend to pursue their primary mission of sharing their passion for the circus arts, especially the art of clowning.
