Each clown portrays a character in performances both original and inspired by classics with titles such as "Divine Clownerie" (Dante), "Matagraal" (Knights of the round table) and "Terraclown" (Robinson Crusoe). Artist Michel Suret-Canale's involvement with the group has included scenography, posters, photography, costume and set design in addition to development of their Website. It is an association that has continued to this day and is one that he genuinely enjoys. The pictures offered include portraits, photographs, notes and scene design for Les Matapeste in the early 1990s. In addition to being the work of an accomplished French artist, they provide the unique opportunity to see what is involved in the "behind the scenes" world of theatrical clowns, before the lights and behind the illusion.
