A virtuoso artist, Boris Gibé blends circus, dance, and magic in this performance that never ceases to surprise the audience.

It all begins at the entrance. In a strange silo that rises to 12 meters in height, spectators are invited to take their seats along a spiral staircase. Leaning against this vertiginous structure, they discover a hypnotic, breathtaking ballet that puts bodies to the test.

In a shadowy atmosphere, an acrobat is suspended in the void and twirls to the accompaniment of spellbinding music. He performs amazing tricks and weaves a sublime tale. In his quest for truth, the man battles the elements – water, air, fire – and ultimately breaks free of everything that holds him back.

L’Absolu tells the story of an intimate journey and flamboyant risk-taking.
