Presentation
In a sweeping desert plain where one would expect to run into the Little Prince or Godot, two silhouettes appear. One is from elsewhere (She), the other is from here (He). Their encounter opens a story and reveals fragments of images that are as intimate as they are common. Between bodies and voices, a mural is painted that is like a reminiscence, a faraway echo, an allegory of the world, a call to memory of what we have always carried inside of us. Nomad, immigrant, or traveler…it’s her homeland that she carries with her, inside her, as her only baggage. Her earth-case opens, then falls, drawing her path, and takes root once again.
In one hand, the earth, in the other a string she grips, she loses, she finds again, and she keeps.
She uses it as a link to her land, a connection to a suspended elsewhere.
Between here and there, between holding on and letting go, between earth and air, there is a space that traces a life in harmonious movements or atonal shudders, all with a breath of mingled foreign voices.
And so, in their footsteps, in the trajectory of this body or of this voice through the air, their symmetries deliver a visual and acoustic poem of brutal and organic purity.

Since 2008, L’Attraction has been developing a theater and circus project. Combining performance arts with no defined genre or era and free of all labeling, their work marries written texts with strong visual and acoustic aesthetics. The company cultivates this eclecticism and claims multiple identities by creating performances for traditional stages, public spaces, and heritage sites. It defends a vision of the theater and of the circus that is integral to the spirit of the troupe and that is built around a core group of artists (actors, musicians, circus artists, lyrical artists…) along with the technicians and guest artists who participate in the different projects.
This creative freedom has fostered intimate and original pieces that make up a festive repertoire where poetry occupies a central position: The Strowlers, Muséum teatr, Sleeping point, Le cabinet de curiosités, Tea time (Cycle Around Shakespeare), Cocktail Boulgakov, Pepe Carvalho, La Tribu, Musée poétique...
