Music from Michigan and beyond at the Historic Ironwood Theatre on Saturday, October 8th starting at 7pm!
Trois Bouffons was formed in 2007 in an effort to preserve French Canadian music, community dance and storytelling. The word “Bouffon,” dates back to medieval France when jesters entertained the king and his court. After the fall of the monarchy, the “Bouffon” became a “busker” or “street performer.” In French Canada, the word is most closely associated with interactive street performers, Québecois vaudeville and the veillée, or “social gathering” for which entertainers were hired to perform for communities. This event is sponsored by Arts Midwest and the National Endowment for the Arts. $10 students, $20 general admission.
