Compagnie des Bonimenteurs

Founded on the occasion of Namur in May in 1997, and established as a non-profit organization in 2000, the Company of Hucksters, has revived the art of huckstering. Equipped with his Melon, the huckster serves the event, approaches the audience sometimes intimately, sometimes in a large crowd. He transforms practical information into a moment of poetry; announces the shows with vigor, transforming the passerby into a potential spectator. He creates a link between the shows and the audience. Since the inception of our company, we have continuously improved, deepened, and renewed these huckster characters.

Practicing street theater is for us an essential approach, a philosophical choice that allows us to reach the spectator "without borders or barriers" for whom the cultural selection is much less than in a traditional theater. Addressing current issues, making the diverse population that animates our street smile together, trying to get as close as possible to people are committed ways of thinking about life with our contemporaries and asserting in the midst of a crowd the healing power of the imagination.
