O.N.D.E
Compagnie Cirque Graphique
Graphic object manipulation
Let yourself be carried away on this sensitive and hypnotic journey. In a setting on the frontier between the urban and the natural, four gardeners invite you to follow them with your eyes. Hoops in hand, they move forward in unison. They brush against each other, swaying together. And thanks to their crude objects, they ingeniously create powerful visual effects until they finally become one.
This intriguing illusion gives rise to a strange, levitating creature called the “Onde”, the French word for “wave”. We follow it with our eyes, as if we were following a butterfly that reveals its colors while sometimes concealing itself. Along the way, we admire the fragility of living things and thus the magic is revealed.
Performed by a sublime juggling quartet, O.N.D.E is an ode to wonder and moments suspended in time.
