A beautiful, sweet show and so very French. It begins as the audience enter with a clown applying his make-up. When all are settled he addresses the audience talking about the effect of putting on such a face. Quickly Felix creates a relationship with the audience. He introduces his good friend Filomena, also dressed and made up in clown style and they begin to relate episodes of their shared life. It is clear that Felix would have liked much more than friendship.
There is story, pathos, mime and humour but in total it was very different and quite enchanting. Much comedy comes simply from Filomena's way of speaking and use of her face.
It is all just so sweet and funny - they are totally engaging throughout.
I couldn't stop smiling, even when I left.
