Presentation
In its fifth creation, the Compagnie XY explores the frontiers of the acrobatic performance by embracing analogies found in natural phenomena such as murmurations, a mode of communication epitomized by the flight of starlings. In these movements, a ballet of hundreds of birds is so well regulated and so dense that it even eclipses the sun for a moment...
With Möbius, the company continues its investigation into the acrobatic language by placing the circus act within a continuous movement that allows for reversals and inversions of situations without having to create oppositions between them. The bare and immaculate white stage is presented as an endless space that empties and fills in dazzling bursts, a place where the action unfolds like a chain reaction.
This show was developed in collaboration with the choreographer Rachid Ouramdane and it resonates with his own body of work.

For more than 18 years, the Compagnie XY has been questioning the acrobatic language by using the practice of lifts. While relying on the fundamentals of this traditional circus technique, the artists from the collective play with the conventions, rhythms, and styles of acrobatics to give new perspectives to this form of artistic expression. Using this starting point, the company has opted to work with a large number of performers to expand the creative possibilities and broaden the scope of its artistic investigation. This approach also seeks to interrogate concepts of crowds and masses and explore their interactions in the same space-time.
