Slava's Snowshow: the magical return of the white storm at the Trianon

It's a long-awaited event for lovers of scenic poetry: after an absence of several years, Slava's Snowshow will return to enchant Parisian audiences at the Trianon for the 2025 holiday season. The brainchild of Russian clown Slava Polunin, this show has enjoyed a cult following for over 30 years, combining visual art, movement theater, music and immersive scenography. Presented as an experience to be lived rather than watched, Slava's Snowshow has already won over more than a million spectators in France.

The most eagerly awaited comedy shows in Paris in 2025
Every year, a huge number of comedy shows are staged in Paris. There are dozens (if not hundreds) of shows every day. And some comedians are more eagerly awaited than others, making themselves rarer... Here's our selection of the most talked-about comedy shows of 2025! [Read more]

This show would not tell a story in the classical sense, but would plunge the spectator into a succession of dreamlike tableaux, sometimes funny, sometimes melancholy, always astonishing. Clowns in oversized coats, raging snowstorms, giant spider webs, giant colorful balloons... each scene would be an invitation to let go, to rediscover one's capacity for wonder and to let the imagination speak for itself. The scene doesn't just unfold in front of the audience: it flows through them, encompassing them, literally submerging them.

Slava's Snowshow would appeal to all generations, from children aged 6 and upwards to adults in search of an out-of-the-ordinary show. The universal tone, absence of text and visual richness make it an ideal show to share with the whole family, or to rediscover with children's eyes. Those seeking a structured narrative or an explicit message may be thrown off balance by the show's free, poetic form, which is more sensory than literary.
