Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Reda Kateb shadowed real hospital clowns for months; the 'Nez pour Rire' methods shown are actual French clown care protocols used since 1986.
Aloïse Sauvage is primarily a musician—this was her first lead role, cast after Kateb saw her circus-adjacent stage presence at a festival.
