THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN
“Le monde à l’envers… les pieds sur terre” is the third part of a trilogy that could be called Les sens, l’essence de la réalité….
From North to South, East to West, verticality opens the doors to “Le monde à l’envers…” a journey that questions our lives, our differences, our view and our apprehension of the world. From the Big Bang to socialization, we navigate between dreams and realities…
The emotion of this show is tenderness… and tenderness is revolutionary!
All we have to do… is open our eyes to the things around us, shift our points of view and our certainties, let ourselves be won over by the childlike feelings that inhabit us, and transgress our preconceptions.
All we have to do… but maybe it’s difficult, or dangerous?
This show is an unrealistic tale that takes us on a journey through our dreams, our nightmares, our banality, our heroism, showing us laughing bears floating in the air, people living the joys of everyday life and appearances, pregnancies painted with paint, women free to walk upside down, men experimenting with the back-and-forth movement of their bodies and voices. A gentle, down-to-earth humanity.
After Récif and Tempête , this new show looks at the relationship between “perceptions and realities”. It marks a synthesis of the last ten years of our work: street techniques, circus, aerial dance and live music. A universe tinged with humor and magic… Sailing through a climate, an atmosphere, sensations, rather than relying on a linear theme, the body of this show lends it a universal dimension. The central scenic device, made up of 4 metal towers linked by 4 transparent canvases, serves the purpose: spectators position themselves around this device, each gaining access to a fragment of the view, and depending on their position, the reality of the tale appears to them in all its diversity.
