Established in [[established::2007]] by the graduates of the Moscow Circus Academy [[Ravil Sultanov]] and [[Natalija Sultanova]], the [[Bufeto Institute|Bufeto Institute for Development of Circus and Performance Arts]] 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 the [[Klovnbuf Festival|Klovnbuf International Contemporary Clown Theatre Festival]] and the Klovnbuf Happy Caravan.
