Les CoUlysses

The story of Ulysses? Not sure... What if the Odyssey was really being played out behind the scenes?

When you enter the auditorium to see this show, it's nothing like usual: the set hasn't yet been set up and the artistic team has barely arrived.
Are you early? Are they late? Take advantage of this opportunity to see what's going on behind the scenes, what we're not showing you... welcome backstage!

Between acrobatics, stunts, acrobatics and contortions, circus performers navigate the props, equipment, ropes and other machinery required for the show to run smoothly. Together, with clumsy virtuosity, they manipulate set elements, stacking, transforming and inverting spaces. They invent a thousand tricks, endure many catastrophes and, in their own way, live an odyssey.

Following on from Von Münchausen , Le Scoparium and Tarkiz, Guillaume Bertrand once again shifts the usual lines of representation and unsettles perception. With his dynamic, burlesque staging, he takes us into the intimacy of a troupe of artists and technicians, as they assemble and perform an Odyssey of Ulysses.
