Foutoir céleste
Cirque Exalté
Juggling, acrobatics, dance, BMX riding and club throwing come together in a show bursting with volcanic energy. Ever since they met at the École de Cirque de Bruxelles, Sara Desprez and Angelos Matsakis have been creating a circus that is at once festive and liberating, based on the tension between control and release. Although they may possess virtuoso skills, their search is for transcendence rather than technical brilliance. Their approach, rigorous yet profoundly free, is the source of a unique circus language.
In Foutoir céleste, they use this particular style to create a grand celebration inspired by the earliest rituals of the First Peoples of America. The Coyote God they fell in love with is a wild figure who has come to disturb humans and reveal their vulnerability and rid them of their tendency to believe that they are all-powerful. Let’s put an end once and for all to humanity’s longing for invincibility.
