"At once ingenious and funny, physical and intelligent, Marée Basse invites us to scrutinize every detail of this set that is full of hiding places, [...] to capture the knowing looks shared by the two buddies, and to share in what these two lazy MacGyvers find." – Time Out

Acrobats, jugglers, flyers, catchers, Bretons, Lyonnais, big ones, li'l ones, bearded ones, curly-haired ones...no, just one curly-haired one... anyway... The Compagnie Sacékripa is first and foremost five people, five friends: Morgan Cosquer, Benjamin De Matteïs, Mickaël Le Guen, Etienne Manceau, and Vincent Reversat. They share common ideals, a desire to please themselves, and especially a desire to please others. 

They met in September 2001 at the Lido, Centre des Arts du Cirque, in Toulouse, where they were beginning their professional training. Vincent and Benjamin come from Campelières (a circus school in Mougins), where they worked on lifts. Mickaël, Morgan, and Etienne come from Brittany. The first is a catcher/flyer, the others are jugglers. During those years of training, they got to know each other as well as the stage, and similar creative ambitions began to quickly emerge. In March 2003, they founded the Compagnie Sacékripa. Marée Basse was created in August 2012 under a small tent with only 65 seats.
