Compagnie La Geste

Je ne peux pas mourir. Mais qui peut vivre en pleine lumière crue ?

Cyr wheel, aerial hoop, swinging trapeze

Three women. Time passes, until suddenly it comes to a halt. What year is it? The lights come up, the curtain rises, the trapeze artist falls, and everything speeds up. In the shadows, her two accomplices step into the light, and in the darkness, the backstage and behind the scenes come into view.

One by one, each of them shares a small conquest of her freedom. Above all, they express it through their bodies, because it is through their circus techniques that they know best how to grasp it.

Biography

La Geste company brings together three women, circus artists. It was initiated by Marlene Vogele’s CNAC act, created in 2016, as part of Les Échappées. During the carte blanche offered at Cirque-Théâtre d’Elbeuf for the opening of the 2017/2018 season, the writing of this dangling trapeze solo is transformed, opens the space with the aerial hoop and paces the ground through the Cyr wheel and thus impregnates the imagination of each.
