Surrounded by countless problems, a ladder, a whip and a remote-controlled toy car, the protagonist embarks on a journey to the essence of the clown – and he begins to play with the problems, dance and play music for them. People are often in search of stupid solutions, WHERE THE FUNK IS MY RED NOSE!? is in search of problems.

A contemporary tribute to the traditional circus.

Théâtre Circulaire

Le Théâtre Circulaire is a professional physical theater and circus company founded in 2019 to develop long-term projects. Their first show, Roulé-Boulé, toured Switzerland by bicycle. In 2022, Porte-à-Faux was created, which is currently touring Europe in a dome tent.

The ensemble’s aim is to bring people together through accessible culture. They focus on touring theater to reach a wide audience, with community as a core value.
