Collectif Sismique
IGNIS
Nicolas Fraiseau
THE PROJECT / IGNIS presents a new aesthetic of fire, one that is no longer grandiose and spectacular, but minuscule and metaphorical. This solo performance explores the contrasts caused by flames. This fiery aesthetic draws on the poetics of archaism, nostalgia and ritual ceremonies to create an intimate bond with the audience.

He is a recipient of the grant «Aide à l’écriture cirque SACD-Beaumarchais» for Instable and of the European exchange and research program in circus arts Circus Without Circus in 2021.
