Là-Bas
Là-Bas, is a contemporary circus show. It is a space that both theatrical and circassian writing processes equally share through the interaction of body language and text.
Following the rhythm of the Cyr wheel, the circassian actor gets lost in a timeless odyssey.
Duration: Approx. 50 min
Public: all public
Là-Bas is the story of a young man who emigrates from his native country to discover new horizons. He tells us about his dreams, his sorrows, his love stories, sometimes as the actor and sometimes as the narrator of his own tragedy.
When he leaves his home country he knows he will have to go through hardships on the way but he is led by his dreams of a better life that relentlessly keep him moving forward.
The character shares with us the intimacy of his journey and of his adventures, not like the ingenious Ulysses but rather candidly and clumsily, just like a child who has to become an adult a little to early. Tossed about by what he has to go through, he doesn’t always understand what is happening to him. He feels the urge to tell his story. Through his logbook he shares with the audience his wandering life : disappointment, clandestinity, friendship and death, desire, loneliness, prison and hope…

Mentalmorfose
Mentalmorfose is a show combining tight-wire and dance, in an abstract and zany world. In a world inavaded by plastic, a woman's heart balances between her desire to escape from it and her crazy desire to merge with it.
Duration: Approx. 30 min
Public: all public
Mentalmorfose is the story of a woman whose passion is collecting rubbish. She shares with us her hopes, her downfalls, her successes and her madness. She imagines another world, where plastic would be a living partner, a companion in her life. The worlds she creates are jostled and shifted from one world to another, always in the hope of becoming one with this partner, sometimes full of surprises, sometimes disappointing, but always present. Mentalmorfose questions the dream of the future we carry within us, in contrast to the reality of a present poisoned by our material and psychological waste. The artist makes the wire under her foot vibrate like an unbreakable bond that she would like to break.

Four characters, performing among the audience ,try their hand at discovering the various gym apparatus available in their playground. In their absurd, clumsy and sometimes spectacular experimentations, these characters allow themselves to dream and tell us about their fantasy . What are they trying to express?
Are these their dreams and aspirations, or just dreams stolen from people they came across ? In any case, they seem to be looking for something, perhaps the ultimate quest to find a dream that is bigger than themselves, one that will bring them together. But does this dream exist, and is it accessible and achievable?
