With 30 years of experience working with vulnerable adults and children, Clowns Sans Frontières France launched La Marche des Nez (literally “The March of Noses”) in March 2023. This nationwide initiative is a unifying and engaging event to promote the beneficial impact of live performance in the development of every human being, including children.

This ode to wonderment will start in five French cities and feature various events and local artistic actions along the way before culminating in Paris in October, with the presentation of a Child Rights Manifesto to UNICEF.

On the closing day of its Temps Fort Arts du Cirque, AY-ROOP, in partnership with Les Tombées de la Nuit, will host La Marche des Nez to the fun-filled sound of Volkanik, a Rennes-based collective inspired by Balkan brass bands. See you at Place Saint-Germain for a musical march to the festival village in Cleunay!
