Le repos du guerrier
Compagnie La Superette - Édouard Peurichard
Acrobatics and knife throwing
55 minutes
Ages 8 and up
How stupid do you have to be to fall from a 1.5-meter-high table without trying to catch yourself? Or to perform this act more than 120 times? In this madcap one-man show, Édouard Peurichard takes an intimate and slightly ironic look at this journey as a circus artist.
We follow an acrobat on his kneecaps, a dubious knife thrower, as he tries to re-enact fragments of his shows. Sequences that have been lived, fantasized, or even completely plagiarized.
Throughout this hilarious tale, the circus artist speaks directly to the audience. He blurs the lines between the real and the fake. He shares his love of the stage with humor and mischief. And he reminds us that the art of performance is truly fragile.
“The Repos du guerrier is more than just a solitary narrative, and the circus artist, with disconcerting ingenuity, involves the audience in his introspective journey. Through this funny and touching medley, Édouard Peurichard celebrates the love of live shows, and reminds us of the beauty and fragility of the art of performance.”
