ARTISTIC STATEMENT

Circus, in this context, can be defined as the construction of the impossible—attempting the impossible, often succeeding, often failing—but this particular circus unfolds as if by chance; it is a circus of adventure, a circus built in full view, an unintentional circus. Here, risk is like an everyday occurrence; the accident, little by little, it has been tamed. It’s about complicating one’s life in public, rather than doing what one already knows how to do—an exploration of a circus of the moment and a circus of instinct, a circus of imbalance rather than balance, a circus where anything can happen, where acrobatics is the only possible path, where the feat is a way to break out of the mold, where the spectacular always arrives at the wrong moment—a game of increasingly foolish and perilous attempts, like a manual for everything you shouldn’t do.

Camille Boitel and Sève Bernard

Featuring:

• Lovisa – acrobat, daredevil, the one who always dares to go a little further. She throws herself into the unknown and draws others in her wake.

• Sini – shy and tiny, but stronger than she seems. She loves to climb; she always finds a way to reach the top.

• Jatta – the mother figure, a seasoned circus artist capable of balancing on her hands indefinitely, hanging by her hair, and contorting her body in every direction.

• Lukas – acrobat, dancer, and above all, a comedian. He teases and plays around, always with a twinkle in his eye.

• Joel – strong and unflappable, one of the world’s best trapeze artists. He likes to be in control. But things don’t always go as planned.
