Balancing act : Circus for 8 tightrope walkers
From age 6
Collective writing and performance: Antoine Prost, Baptiste Raffanel, Coline Froidevaux, Charlie Courvoisier, Christelle Dubois, Emmanuel Robert, Mathieu Hedan, Jatta Borg, Dorothée Dall?Agnola and Meret Meier
Humans with their heads in the sand, we don't know whether they're just playing or whether they're really like that. Somewhere or other, a group of tightrope walkers play at being alone together. Their vertical obsessions, their way of experiencing space, surprise and displace the spectator, revealing the beauty and rigor of their discipline, the strength of their research, their need to talk about it and live it side by side. Created for 8 tightrope walkers on stage, "Le Complexe de l'Autruche" is a zoom on the immobile tangible, an ode to those who are all the same but different. A poetic fable.
