En liesse
A duo of circus artists continues its exploration of balance and imbalance using the Rolla-Bolla. From accepting instability comes a series of profound questions between them about joy as an act of resistance.
About this event
Moving from balance to imbalance, Fred and Alex, dazzling partners on the wooden beam, come together to claim joy as a vital and collective necessity. This act of resistance begins on a Rolla-Bolla. On this board balanced on a cylinder, they compose a choreography and explore physical interdependence through delicate coexistence. They create a collective body capable of playing equally with constraint and with the exhilaration of imbalance. Little by little, the duo questions joy, cheerfulness and celebration. Does being joyful mean being happy? Is joy contagious? This performance is the first work in a new cycle by La Mondiale Générale devoted to elation, as if laying the foundations of joy somewhere within friendship.
