I've just handed in my written work for uni, and anticipating the need for a celebration of that, and my birthday a few weeks ago, I had bought tickets for myself and a friend to see Atelier Lefeuvre and Andre at the Garage. 

There were two pieces, mostly contained within in a small, square room, with a television as a major prop. They were performed by Didier Andre and Jean Paul Lefeuvre, who I think would be described as clowns. The first was this http://www.lefeuvre-andre.com/lefeuvre-andre/Chez_Moi_Circus_eng.html, a quietly told story about life, and love perhaps. And the second was this http://www.lefeuvre-andre.com/lefeuvre-andre/Ni_Omnibus_eng.html, a more athletic exploration of the world. 

It's too easy to stay home on wintry nights, if I had, I'd have missed these guys, and they were both brilliant from start to finish.
