Extrêmités

Created by the collective Cirque Inextremiste, Extrêmités is a wildly physical and darkly comic circus piece. Three performers invent a world of precarious balance, juggling tilted planks, teetering constructions and the menace of gas bottles. The staging trades traditional circus apparatus for domestic debris, turning each fall into a choreographed collapse that questions fragility, trust and collective dependence. Raw, poetic and unsettling, the show was presented in connection with the Out of the Box biennale.
