Cie. Amare
Quizas is a radical poetic act. The show moves between performance and danced conversation. The theme: love relationships. The two artists play the games of love. Interviews, sociological references, personal experiences and a good pinch of humor are used as tools. A hymn to love, a sharing of doubt, loneliness and laughter.
Cie. Bivouac
Perceptions is a journey into the heart of quantum imaginary. In this contemporary circus, the infinitely large meets with the infinitely small. A metal structure serves as the basis for acrobatics and simultaneously reveals relative space and time, parallel dimensions. For the spectators, a reality emerges that is invisible to the naked eye. The world changes, becomes unpredictable. Follow Cie. Bivouac's invitation to dream of other realities.
Cie. Les Mémoires d`Helène
Pseudologia Phantastica is an epic performance about the (in)ability to relate in the 21st century. Between pompous nonsense and great seriousness, 3 performers embark on an autofictional tightrope walk between reality and fantasy. In the process, they raise a whole series of questions: about the power of utopia and the power of the past, about compromise in times of hyper-individualism, about alternative family structures and family traumas, about fears and Homo Fomo, about self-searching to the point of selfishness and the irrepressible love of theatre.
Cie. Soralino
Caio Sorana and Clément Malin build up and take down their boxes. They stack and unstack, play with balance and imbalance. They are removalists of the absurd, storekeepers of the useless and they reach heights in the art of convincing you that the object will never dominate. An illustration of the myth of Sisyphus - always on the verge of disaster.
Cie. Têtes de Mules & Cie. Buffpapier
The end of the world is just a fairground spectacle. Once again, people celebrate, laugh, sing and curse before the world ends. Thrills and emotional shocks are guaranteed in this apocalyptic ride. In the process the protagonists steer into chaos, which causes them to show their true faces. Apocalypso is a musical show, a grotesque game about the "after us the deluge" society.
Circo Zoé
An original, acrobatic and musical cabaret, accompanied by the fury of a hoop, a bewitching Cyr wheel, a trapeze, velò and vertiginous pole. The acrobats of Circo Zoé will be carried away by the improvisations of the musicians. Drums, accordion, electric guitar, machines, violin, sequencers and rhythm box guide the creation and the movements.
Cirq Olga
LP (Long Play) is a cry of resistance that makes its way through the decadence of the new millennium. A visual and acoustic underworld in which our identities dance and a gap of human fragility opens up. Cables, software, high heels and a beard. Bodies transform between political speech, freak show, immigration office and Renaissance painting.

Manuel Muerte

In this grandiose show, Russian roulette, sharp razor blades, hypnotised ferrets and frozen playing cards have a rendezvous of horror. Manuel Muerte is an award-winning magician who has triumphed in Las Vegas and won the World Magic Championships. Embark on a journey into bizarre realities and let your perception be manipulated!
Merlin Puppet Theatre
A surrealistic puppet show between black comedy and absurd theatre. Noose is the moment when your world collapses, the noose tightens around your neck and you lose your breath, because until that moment you thought you were going to live. In just two square scenes, the lives of all of us are unfolded, the lives that have never been lived...
My!Laika
A composition of music, acrobatics and absurd theatre. Eccentric characters meet in a third-rate restaurant for La Soirée. The relationships intertwine with the succession a of skill tests that the guests complete in the great hall. In its usual uncomplicated way, the circus tells stories of extraordinary humanity. Behind a dinner jacket hides a prince... or a waiter.
Niv Sheinfeld & Oren Laor
Two Room Apartment is a reinterpretation of the famous piece by Liat Dror and Nir Ben Gal that premiered in Israel in 1987. With their legendary duet about proximity and boundaries, they opened the doors for a whole generation of independent choreographers. More than 25 years later, with the permission of the creators, Sheinfeld and Laor have created a reenactment of the classic. With congenial results! Sheinfeld and Laor are as minimalist as the creators of the original. They mark their territory with tape, start a pas de deux of casual gestures, assaults and seeking protection. It's about boundaries, external and internal, about habits that create security but also restrict us. In the Two Room Apartment of the present, living together has not become easier.
