Mr. N. is employed by the company La Page blanche. Every day, he is at his desk with only a pile of sheets for company. However, the least of his actions leads him to break the rule. The pleasure of inventing is irresistible for him.
From the smallest gesture to the most acrobatic act, Mr. N. constantly pushes the limits of this space where he has imprisoned himself. He transforms white into black, black into white, the blank page into a host of unknown worlds... And when he is about to finally get to work, his fantasy catches up with him.... From one eclipse to the other, from balance to imbalance, Mr. N. is slowly led towards the exit of this office, towards himself, towards the unknown...

The Bellazar company was founded in 2023 under the impetus of Basile Narcy, a multidisciplinary artist who has been active on the French and international scene for almost twenty years. Created in 2020 and co-produced by Scène nationale de Blois, the show Éclipse marks the company's first creation, as well as Basile Narcy's first solo, whose career until then had been part of a collective approach.
In 2006, Basile Narcy co-founded the Akoreacro company, whose shows Pfffffff (created in 2009), Klaxon (created in 2013) and Dans ton cœur (created in 2018) have all met with great success. These creations have been performed in France and throughout Europe (Belgium, Austria, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Portugal, UK), as well as in Quebec and Argentina.
With Éclipse, compagnie Bellazar offers a veritable ode to fantasy, revealing a more intimate and introspective vision of Basile Narcy. This show explores all the richness of his art: from choreographic and acrobatic movement to the use of the Cyr wheel, from juggling and the manipulation of objects such as brooms to the exploration of more unexpected materials...
“Magic can emerge from the tiniest of things, from a simple blank page”. It is this movement of invention that the company explores, from the most ordinary act to the most extraordinary. Expressing everyone's universal need to regain possession of their world and reinvent themselves.
“He constantly pushes the boundaries of his universe, moving into a kind of parallel world, into the unknown like the eclipse, with a veritable transformation of stage space and acrobatic prowess. Everything is magic, fantasy, mime, shadows, black and white, with musical support, sound effects and perfect lighting.”
“This is truly an ode to fantasy, and you'll just have to dare to go through the doors.”
“With Éclipse, the artist proves that being yourself is the most precious of achievements... A virtuoso, unclassifiable show that will leave no one indifferent!”
“Juggling crumpled paper balls and a broom, waltzing between balances and imbalances on soulless furniture that suddenly becomes a sober backdrop and a veritable showcase for acrobatic acts that follow one another with precision and virtuosity.”
