believe
that politics should be
a tool for the creation of debate
about ideas, Europeanism based on the

Vicaire. "The
whiteface clown costume".
In the same street as the celebrated Folies Bergčre music-hall in Paris, there was, from 1927 to 1993, a costume tailoring workshop which was responsible for dressing the most prestigious stars from the world of show-business. Its name was the "Maison Vicaire" and one of the owners, Gerard, was in charge of designing and tailoring hundreds of costumes for clowns.
Today, in the world of circus, we speak of a "Vicaire" as a work of art of show-business brodery. The catalog, published with the occasion of the homonymous exhibition held by the festival on its 20th anniversary, reflects on the history of the workshop and the whiteface clown costumes that were made there. With more than 200 pictures, it analyses the complex sewing and brodery techniques used in la Maison and, among many other things, the ornamental features clowns would display on stage.
