To tell stories to today's towns , to develop dramatic and scenographic writing for spectacular voyages, to move and affect the public in the street, to replace a single vision with an infinite number of ways of looking at things : these are the wishes and the dreams which have guided the work of the Company's actors since 1985.

A succession of images, parades, installations..., Karnavires uses the travelling spectacle, the spectacular journey.

At first rooted in musical theatre , as years went by we constantly took our work to the urban space, in this way we built up an artistic originality in the field of street theatre : the composing and writing took its inspiration from both the theatre, for its conventions, the cinema for its framework, the opera for its lyricism, and musical symphonies for their movement.

In the spectacles that take place in both France and Europe (Les Illumineurs, L'Oeil du cyclone, Histoire de voir), the company has a very strong physical presence, masters the sense of risk, and shows its capacity to question and transmit.

As one can see , Karnavires likes to take up new challenges, artistic or human.
