Soka Tira Osoa
Compagnie Basinga
Tightrope
Sat. 11 & Sun. 12 Jan. - Champ de Mai
Soka Tira Osoa must be experienced. A tightrope performance where everyone (artist, technician, musician, and spectator) plays a role as essential as it is surprising.
When the audience arrives, nothing seems prepared. The wire is not set up, the platforms are not connected. Suddenly, a strange ballet begins. Crew members arrive on stage. The wire rises to a height of 4.5 metres.
The stage crew showcases the beauty of the connections, both between the wires and the people. The audience, at first a witness, becomes an actor in the creation of a structure that keeps the group in balance.
Soka Tira Osoa uses a visual poetry to explore the mechanics of human interactions. This captivating show is made possible by the strength of the collective.
First performances of the show accessible to the hearing impaired. Live sign language translation (LSF).
