Orphées — Florence Caillon

Choreographed by Florence Caillon, Orphées draws on the Greek myth of Orpheus to probe trust and doubt. Six performers move between real and virtual worlds in a choreographed circus where dance becomes acrobatic. Blending humour and poetry, the piece examines our uncertainties in an information-saturated age, exploring how bonds of trust are made, broken and ultimately earned. The staging balances virtuosity and intimacy, inviting reflection through striking physicality and moments of lyrical absurdity.

But what is “reality”?
A forgotten cassette in a tape recorder becomes the key to a journey through time.

They must piece together a puzzle that will lead them to the very edge of madness. “Why are you so angry? …Because all of a sudden I was taking control of something? …Huh? Until now you were used to completely controlling the situation, and now this strangeness has crept into your life…”
