LICHEN SHOW

"Three individuals evolve in a circular space where the floor moves with the wind. Carried by dreamlike music, the two acrobats play on their similarities and complementarities to extricate themselves from this indocile universe.

On the ground and in the air, their bodies use agility and challenge to play with gravity, to rise, to offer themselves to others, to merge. An aerial evolution, between balances, counterweights and interlocking bodies, a dance where one cannot exist without the other.

Slowly, the bodies create acrobatic, poetic evolutions, making this duet an allegory of the symbiotic nature of Lichen.

Writing: Pauline Barboux & Jeanne Ragu
Performance: Pauline Barboux & Gaëlle Estève alternating with Elsa Caillat, aerial acrobats on Quadrisse.
Cellist: Mauro Basilio
