Ariane(s)
Compagnie Lunatic
Aerial maneuvers, spinning ropes
Ariane(s) brings together a duo of performers on a stage that abounds in ropes and strings. Created in 2005 by the musician Hélène Breschand and the acrobat Cécile Mont-Reynaud, this show has been reinvented 19 years after its premiere by the artist Anna Weber and the harpist Élisa Balsamo.
It is based on the story of the Minotaur and Ariadne. In Greek mythology, Ariadne played an essential role in helping Theseus defeat the half-man, half-bull and provided the red thread that guided him out of the labyrinth.
With a maze of strings and ropes that are a symbol of confinement, Anna Weber performs a series of aerial acrobatics, climbing and crossing the wires. In harmony with the music, she brilliantly embodies this legend and the quest for the possible.
