Spectacle - Jovany, le dernier saltimbanque

Opening Show of the Humour au Château Festival

A festive evening hosted by comedian Laurent Arnoult, featuring a local artist as the opening act. Let yourself be swept away by Jovany’s poetic, burlesque, and high-energy world, where humor, mime, music, and magic come together to take audiences aged 7 to 77 on a journey!

A trunk opens… and the magic begins, kicking off this new edition of the Humour au Château festival!

In this spectacular and poetic one-man show, Jovany gazes at us and tells the story of his grandfather, a street performer. A master of evoking emotions with his high-energy delivery and magnetic stage presence, this universal “one-man show” delights in becoming a child again to remind us of an essential truth: the biggest mistake we can make is to grow up!

Drawing inspiration from the circus arts, cabaret, and mime, Jovany shares with the audience a magical and offbeat stage performance. Between infectious laughter, visual feats, and moments of pure nostalgia, this generous show invites everyone to savor the carefree spirit of the present moment. Don’t grow up—come laugh with us!
