Michel Dallaire
Clown Act Designer
Cirque du Soleil fans will remember the clown group called La Ratatouille, which performed in 1984 and 1985. Michel Dallaire was the soul behind it. He has since put together a number of groups and created many clown shows in Europe, including Pomp Duck and Circumstance, Cirque Gosh in Germany, and Les Hommes Noirs. Recently, he founded a clown school in France. Guy Caron has relied on Michel's talent to put together a group of clowns in the pure "absurd" style, a style very familiar to Michel.
