Established in 2007 by the graduates of the Moscow Circus Academy Ravil Sultanov and Natalija Sultanova, the Bufeto Institute for Development of Circus and Performance Arts started as Buffetto Mini Circus. It is the only professional institute in the area of the art of clown in Slovenia. Effectively combining the skills and elements of circus and theatre, Buffetto performances blur the boundaries between traditional drama theatre and typical circus shows. Since 2008, Bufeto Institute annually organises Klovnbuf International Contemporary Clown Theatre Festival. Together with KUD Ljud and Barbara Bulatović they moved the office to the Šiška Cultural Quarter in 2012.


Production

Bufeto regularly appear at KUD France Prešeren Arts and Culture Association and make guest appearances in Slovene theatre houses such as Ljubljana Puppet Theatre and Café Teater, as well as in Mladinsko Theatre where they performed in the theatre's children's plays The Clowns and Pika and in the productions of King Oedipus [Kralj Ojdipus] (1998) and the acclaimed Silence, Silence, Silence (1996). In 2010, Bufeto co-produced together with Mladinsko Theatre the performance Ultimate Tragedy [Ultimativna tragedija], directed by Ravil Sultanov, which was based on Shakespeare's King Lear and Hamlet and featured an international cast.

Bufeto present their shows at different festivals throughout Slovenia, such as Lent Festival, Trnfest Festival, Primorska Summer Festival, Koper-Capodistria, etc.

Klovnbuf Festival

Aiming to popularise the art of clown, the institute organises an international contemporary clown theatre festival Klovnbuf, which has thus far hosted numerous artists from Russia, France, Austria, Switzerland, Israel, UK, USA, etc. The festival takes place in different locations in Ljubljana (also at the Ljubljana Castle and also features workshops.
