Presentation

Two planets between the heavens and the earth. Wires and ropes connect them. Amid a lunar landscape, two entities face each other, one seeming to be the mirror of the other. Plunged into this isolated space, two beings explore the full palette of the dual relationship, becoming at times allies, enemies, sisters, or strangers. Traversing all the emotional nuances that come with sharing a constrained territory, they will either transform the space or the space will transform them. At times working in harmony, at times working at cross purposes, these women echo our fears and our mutual attractions. This is a fascinating paradox that we are all permanently confronted with.

"Fanny Soriano's writing is delicate, true to  dance and the elements, true to the images and sensations. It is something subtly organic.”

Le Figaro

The Libertivore circus company was founded in 2005 by Fanny Soriano and Jules Beckman. Together, they created the show Libertivore. After, Fanny Soriano took the company's reins alone and developed shows that mixed circus and dance and were enriched with research into organic matter and the material, malleable, and metamorphic character of the body. She created Ether in 2012 and then a triptych dedicated to nature composed of Hêtre (2015), Phasmes (2017), and Fractales (2019).
