Company The Extras

In France, for all the complete beginners with whom I am brought to discuss puppet, it is often necessary to explain that there are other forms that the traditional Guignol. The forms of contemporary puppets are multiple and a video is often the best solution to present a style or an exceptional direction.

Credit where credit’s due, one of the videos of presentation which I use to show the variety of the universe of puppets is the one of the company of my uncle, the Extra, with their show ” Il circo Allegria “, in the biggest smallest circus in the world.

The Extra, it is Patrice Carpentier a circus performer and puppeteer, Jean-Philippe Hemery his accomplice (since 98) comedian storyteller, amateur of puppets. But also Lili Zancanaro, wardrobe and props man and Élise Lagalle, storyteller. For The Extra, the laughter and the frenzy can rhyme with much more serious subjects: the price of freedom, for example…

In brief, it is Extra and it is very well!
