Zirkus Chnopf - Le cours des choses
Le cours des choses is the latest production of Zirkus Chnopf (CH) with 5 professionals and 6 teenagers and young artists between 14 and 23 - in the open air.
Le cours des choses is about the big and small connections in a group or a system. What happens when everyone works together and what happens when more and more oppose each other?
The show playfully questions our fixed logic of consequences and challenges our imagination. Will the performers succeed in providing new paths? A play with risk and humour at the interface between circus, dance and music.

Tea Time Company - Leverage
In Leverage, two women defy the balance point of a 2.5 meter long pole. The pole acts as a scale, enabling the performers to defy their physical limits, to define new hierarchies.
While climbing, relying on each other and folded under and over each other, the duo is completely absorbed in their relationship. Meanwhile, the pier and chasm below them is surrounded by the ever-threatening danger of more and more raging water.
