Compagnie XY have created a humourous show with an edge, for an audience of all ages who like a spectacle with risk and daring.

Venez assister à ce spectacle de cirque français qui compte 17 lestes jeunes artistes créant un univers alternatif à 360 degrés fait d’acrobatie, de danse, de musique et de pyramides humaines. Avec une masse de corps agiles et adroits, ils montent, fusionnent et créent à toute vitesse un chemin époustoufflant entre les airs et le sol.

A travers une observation aigüe et une interprétation originale, ils mettent à nus les rites de nos sociétés, de l’horizon d’une ville , à la mêlée de rugby en passant par une élégante pirouette en vol; cette nouvelle compagnie a réussi à créer un spectacle plein d’humour avec originalité.

Billets £14.50 Enfant £8
Pass Famille £30 (toute combinaison avec un adulte minimum)

Reviews

This is a beautifully executed ensemble piece that explores the acrobatic possibilities of a company of 17 performers. It is wonderful simple and elegant with the minimum use of technical apparatus, simple costuming, minimal lighting effects and a minimal soundtrack.  The performers are each clearly highly skilled acrobats but all these individual skills were blended together to create a satisfying performance, where the production was the star, not any one individual.
