HA HA HA

OKIDOK presents, a simple and effective title which says a lot about the content of the show. A title like a bet because here, laughter is master; it is displayed, sometimes in finesse, sometimes in bursts, on the lips of an ageless audience.

On stage, two funny characters: the red nose, the quickdraw are reminiscent of the clowns of the countries of the East. But this nod to tradition is coupled with a pronounced taste for the imaginary, combined with an innate sense of comedy, and an unparalleled acrobatic technique. These elements make up a whimsical spectacle, the mysterious universe of a clowning duo, on the border between Tex Avery's cartoons and object theater.

Succession of sketches as improbable as hilarious, plays with fireworks and other flonflons. A sobriety that only a few objects shake up, pretexts for new gags, for a new fantasy: a balloon falling from the air, a rebellious carrot, a door opening onto nothingness, the unusual constantly crosses inventiveness. Everything is looks, expressions, power relations too, because the acolytes are in turn subjects, rivals or allies. A complete show, built with finesse and simplicity.

They experiment their first works there, during numerous events, while participating in the creation of shows with the Cirque of Doctor Paradi, the Compagnie Chien de Cirque, the Cirque d'Anges Heureux, the Théâtre d'un jour, Franco Dragone Entertainment Group, ... 

Nearly 700 performances of "HA HA HA" later, this show still thrills audiences today.

“The Okidoks don't have speech, but they're masters of the absurd (sic!). [...] Technically excellent. For burlesque lovers.”

Ouest France

“A title like a wager, because here, laughter is the master; it is displayed, sometimes with finesse, sometimes with great bursts, on the lips of an ageless audience.”

L'Express

“Ha, ha, ha is a succession of sketches worked to perfection by two clowns [...] Two clowns, of course, but also astonishing mimes with incredibly expressive and poetic gestures.”
