ColmO

ColmO is a prolific artist, a creator of circus, theatre, street art… which takes us on a journey through surprising stories.

The common thread in his work could be called contemporary clown: comic and burlesque situations, the diversion of objects into a narrative tool.

He began his career in 1995 on the street in Galway, Ireland. Since then, he has toured internationally in more than 30 countries around the world with his solo, duo or troupe shows.

Among the many incredible and inspiring artists, directors and circus teachers he has had the pleasure to work with and learn from, he mainly studied with 3 masters- Clown with Philippe Gaulier and Michel Dallaire, and also theatre & movement with maestro Monika Panyeaux.

ColmO likes to say that he can play anywhere, that every place is a playground: it’s the theatres, in the forests, the churches, on hills, big or small tents with circus companies renowned in Europe: Flic Flac, Palazzo, even performing on television all over the world.
