As in the lens of a microscope, a solitary, cellular presence is observed; a first being occupying a confined space. But another presence emerges, and these two strange beings must learn to coexist.

​

Driven by the same gravitational force and a shared desire for escape, these two individuals share a limited space, playing with the laws of physics to better feel them, take ownership of them, and experience them concretely. Their bodies are propelled, bursting, brushing past, spinning, rolling, stacking, falling, carrying, crashing into one another, attracting and repelling.

​

Through this poetic fable, Florence Caillon revisits the acro-choreographic principles that have formed the foundation of her circus language for over twenty years: instinctive body energies, continuous movement, body throws, impulses, imbalances, jumps, falls, tremors, softness, slowness, and the decomposition of acrobatic movement.

​

Our two individuals grow and must face the truth: the only way out is to find the right way to live together and communicate in order to better coexist. For this circus duo belongs to the same world, the same global force, within the same planet, and, in light of this reality, chooses to open up to a new, optimistic, and down-to-earth horizon.

​

Being be carried away in a common movement, falling and getting up together, coming back to oneself, confronting the other, letting oneself be carried and then carry in turn. Forces, tensions, propulsions, falls or releases on the other's body. In a haunting waltz, return to the basics of two bodies that evolve together, seeking balance and respect for their individuality.​
