27 – 28 April

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.
