Presentation

We spend 24 years of our lives in bed. How do we sleep? How do we prepare to go to sleep? Reading, eating, watching TV, cuddling, praying... Then, we leave the waking consciousness and travel to a world of dreams. Whether they remember it or not, most people dream at night. So where does this imaginary matter go, this creative world that emerges on its own? Petite Nuit au Lit [A Little Night in Bed] is a dreamlike and comical poem that evokes the intimacy of sleep and bedtime rituals. It serves as a prelude to the show Ô LIT [To Bed], which the company will create in 2023.

"The Cahin-Caha circus company doesn’t build its house from cards but from iron beds in this burlesque and acrobatic performance that explores the theme of sleep.”

– La Provence

Cahin-Caha takes a loving and absurd look at the human condition. This approach leads to a constant renewal of its creative vocabulary and creates new challenges for the art of movement. Cahin-Caha calls itself a "physical theater" because its expression goes beyond the technical standards of the circus and aspires to explore the field of human relations.
