On tour

Participatory, choreographic and circus show for the public space
Quatuor and a group of inhabitants – outdoor/indoor – night – 45min

 

Festival Et 20 l’été Paris

Building collectively is our driving force!

Dancers and circus performers of the company and inhabitants form a group that embarks on a joyful and rigorous ascension ritual. The night opens the possibility of a huge consequence to movement. The gigantic shadows projected on the walls enter into a dialogue with an action the size of the body to create a play of scale to the dimension of the space of representation.

The work of light guides the gaze in a spatial re-reading of the site by zooming in on an isolated action in the void that suddenly widens to embrace the entire space.

Festival Et 20 l’été Paris

All the steps and gestures of this construction are the workings of a collective organisation where each action, each individual is essential, and the basic tool is the ladder. Ladders are our crossing tools. They allow us to rise from the ground and redesign the play area.
