Double-show evening // Faune + Rapprochons-nous

Faune, Cie Libertivore

Since time immemorial, deer have fascinated humans with their majesty and power. Graceful and untameable, they fuel myths of the past and the present. They fascinate with their moulting and the shedding of their antlers, which each year beautifully embodies the cycle of life. Set to music, three circus performers allow themselves to be transported by this wild figure of the stag. On stage, they seize its antlers and transform them into circus equipment. On the ground and in the air, they manipulate them, hook them, suspend them in a rich and daring acrobatic and choreographic playground. Through their movements, a gentle blend of strength and delicacy, the artists evoke hunting, bellowing, the dance of seduction or intimidation, the herd in motion. A vast animal imagination imbued with wisdom.

Rapprochons-nous, La Mondiale générale

Perched on a wooden beam that is a bit too narrow, two tightrope walkers whisper to each other about life, the future, the little things in everyday life… As their discussion progresses, the tension becomes increasingly palpable, when suddenly a sound engineer appears. Thanks to her, we can hear everything: their humorous words, the rustling of their clothes, their breathing, their efforts not to falter. The minutes stretch out slowly. Their performance is something to be seen and heard. The contrast between their tense bodies and their light-hearted words is both comical and absurd. Will they make it to the end? Perhaps. But, after all, it doesn’t matter. Because for our duo of artists, the most important thing is simply to take their time.
