Not much else appears to have survived: an elderly circus director and an adolescent elephant. One is old and experienced and the other cheeky and curious. They love each other dearly, and love to quarrel. When the fresh (as in cheeky) vegetables in the elephants luggage mix themselves in the business, that’s the recipe for plenty of fireworks. Together they form an eccentric trio: the vegetables, the elephant and the old man Paspartout plays musical, humorous street theatre. Bizarre birds, impish elephants, eccentric geriatrics mix with the audience. Laughing is allowed.

The performers met about 1980 at a clown workshop in Andalusia. They were playing 12 years with the name “Les Frites Foutues”. Since 2006 they are playing as “PasParTouT” musical, clownesque street theatre and puppet theatre. Totally they play now more than 20 years at national and international festivals.
