The rabbit kicks

The tradition goes back to the beginning of time, awaited by the festival goers: the rabbit …. in the preview of the Festival.

The tradition goes back to the beginning of time, and no-one or almost no-one can explain its origins. It’s an unavoidable part of the Annecy Festival, a golden rule which is handed down from generation to generation, impatiently awaited by the festival goers: the rabbit …. in the preview of the Festival.

What exactly is it about? Well, just a rabbit which appears in the preview, just try and find out why. In the 2009 preview produced by Studio Hari, the rabbit, for the first time, gets a kick up the backside (in not just any old how) by a mad Owl. Result: he crosses the screen in less than a second, which sets off a wildly enthusiastic reaction in the audience.

The rabbit kick of « The Owl » will go down in the history of the festival!!
