Highlights: Scaramouche Jones or the Seven White Masks

It's almost midnight on December 31st, 1999- A time when even clowns retire! Imagine a show called Scaramouche Jones or the Seven White Masks, in which the clown of the same name has reached the venerable age of one hundred. He's about to say goodbye to this world of confetti and giant shoes. But he's not going to leave without telling us his epic story, as if he were unwrapping the most beautiful present life has given him.

Who better than Leslie Clack to play the master of ceremonies at the Théâtre de Nesle, as he removes one by one the seven white masks of his life as a clown, uncovering all of his secrets. Scaramouche Jones is a cocktail of touching situations with a good dose of humour.

Story: Scaramouche Jones or the Seven White Masks

Leslie Clack moves across the stage of the Théâtre de Nesle with the grace of a tightrope walker on a giant spider's thread. This is certainly due to the intensive training he underwent at the school for clowns.

We already knew that Leslie Clack was a master of the one-man show, but here, with Scaramouche Jones or the Seven White Masks, he proves that he is also the king of mime. With gestures worthy of a ninja, he gives us a show that reminds us why we are fascinated by clowns.

Trish Kessler's direction is the cherry on top of this touching show! So, if you need a good dose of laughter and mime, go and see Scaramouche Jones, the hundred-year-old clown they will walk you down memory lane.
