Le vertige de l’envers
L'Envolée Cirque
Circus, illusion
14 to 16 Jan.
During this edition of the Biennale Internationale des Arts du Cirque, Archaos is offering a week-long program for schools and social services centers in Marseille. Pauline Barboux and Nicolas Longuechaud from the L’Envolée Cirque company will present their show Le vertige de l’envers [The vertigo of the reverse] in several parts of the city.
Le vertige de l’envers uses illusions and circus feats to provide a highly visual exploration of the different ways of perceiving the world around us. Audiences enter a universe where the laws of gravity and time can be reversed, expanded, or abolished altogether, disrupting the senses and emotions in a dreamlike, timeless experience. Liquids are transformed, weights are lightened until they take flight, bodies float, and balls escape their usual trajectories.
“The show sprinkles the ordinary with the extraordinary. Starting with banal bodies and objects, the laws of physics and time are disrupted to open a marvelous parenthesis, a moment when attention is reconnected to the present moment because anything can happen.”Mathieu Dochtermann – La Terrasse, December 2023.
