Slava's Snowshow is back in Bordeaux
It’s a much-anticipated return: the “Slava’s Snowshow” is taking over Le Pin Galant for 7 dates, a record for this legendary venue. A true masterpiece of visual poetry and pure emotions, the show by the great Russian clown Slava Polunin combines avant-garde theater, a life-sized snowstorm, giant spider webs, and cosmic humor. The art of clowning is elevated by cutting-edge technology for an undeniably wow effect!
Since its creation in 1978, this timeless ballet of clowns has traveled the world and captivated millions of spectators from Hong Kong to New York, all the way to Sydney. In Mérignac, it will unpack its bags in November for seven performances from November 26 to 30, 2025, offering a magical experience to all generations — from 7 to 107 years old — a delightful pause within a surreal universe. The event is highlighted as one of the season's must-see experiences, and rightfully so!

A generous and diverse season designed for all generations
Slava's Snowshow won't be the only delight gracing the stage at Pin Galant, which kicks off its 38th season with flair. Expect 103 performances and 83 shows, featuring a vibrant array of artistic expressions: theater, dance, contemporary circus, opera, comedy, music...
Among the highlights of the lineup, we can mention: Ben Mazué, the singer with finely crafted lyrics and raw sensitivity, Panayotis Pascot, a rising star in the comedy scene, Jenifer, the French pop star returning to the stage, and the poignant theater piece “D.Charcoal in the Veins”, inspired by the story of David Bellion, which was awarded 5 Molière awards in 2025. Not to forget the grand aerial show “TITIZÉ” in December, by the Italo-Swiss company Finzi Pasca, blending acrobatics, light, and suspended poetry.
