Epicycle
Epicycle is a one-hour show that takes spectators, comfortably seated in deckchairs, into a circular universe inspired by comics.
In this space made of two large metal circles 13.50 m in diameter,
a small aerial people are active and moving.
Carried along by electro-acoustic music, eight acrobats work their way through the cogs, pulleys and gears of their immense ship, in order to launch the machine.
The cyclical movements of the mechanism lead the inhabitants of the circle into various situations where urgency will be a way out, falling an anguish, taking flight a necessity.
A musician in his animated sphere punctuates the images to the sound of a saw, a guitar and other electro-acoustic vectors...
Aerobatics, carried by different aerial techniques, becomes a language, a ritual which allows each cyclonaut to express their personal emotions, thus participating in this common destiny: the Epicycle.
