Agathe Olivier & Antoine Rigot |Les Colporteurs

|Creation 2022

Since 1996, Les Colporteurs have left their mark in the world of contemporary circus with their inspired creations. Cœurs sauvages (Wild hearts) intertwine acrobatics and music at the heart of meshed wires, poles, ropes, and tissues from where traffic lines spill out. From the bottom to the top of the marquee, senses sharpened, bodies go out to meet their animal side, their instinctive and wild feelings… sliding feet dancing on the rope, a hand rubbing on the pole, or the landing of a jump create sound vibrations; caught by captors, they blend into the musical composition. Looking to sharpen their listening skills towards others and their surroundings, circus artists and musicians turn their attention to the perception of vibrations where emotions blend together, in order to better become one with the Living. As a pack, solo, or coupled up, protagonists explore the basis of survival: continuity and preservation of the species, quest for the nourishment of bodies and minds, and solidarity in the face of life’s challenges.
