Presentation

The clown named Fissure is a virtuoso when it comes to errant errors. His body is like an accident, his gestures do not belong to him, he catches things like illnesses. He sets a trap, a terrible one, and just after, he falls into it. Fissure never foresees anything but the unforeseeable. Fissure learns nothing, understands nothing. He lives in the moment, a victim of his irrepressible impulses. Fissure is a fiction that plays with itself. A symbol of all mistakes, he commits them all, systematically, the most common as well as the most unimaginable. He is at the same time worse than everyone else, and more similar than anyone else.

Press

“It’s crazy and magical at the same time, like those moments in children’s games where nothing is against the rules and everything that fails, breaks, or falls down isn’t a cause for drama but instead laughter.”

Biography

L'Immédiat is the name of a show that didn't want to have a name, and which finally gave its name to a circus company. For more than ten years, the Compagnie L'Immédiat has never stopped inventing new artistic approaches for engaging with the audience that can be experienced in shows such as La Lévitation réelle, La Jubilation, Le Poids des choses, Lancés de chutes, Fissure, and L'Art de la précarité.
