Presentation

Everything revolves around cyclical movement. As inhalation gives way to exhalation, two men act and interact in bewitching rotations. The balls and wheels are extensions of these two bodies and allow them to experiment with moments of imbalance, vertigo, and suspension to the point of breathlessness. In this fashion they reach the most essential of states, in which breathing accelarates, cheating is impossible, and authenticity is the only option. With humor and poetry, these two artists create an intimate universe and, to the rhythm of their own breaths, let technical prowess and the magic of instinct shine through.

"A show that celebrates perpetual movement over the course of an hour and that unites people from all stages of life. An intergenerational choreography, as the enthusiastic applause reverberating throughout the room testifies, proving the audience to be captivated and delighted!" – Angélique Tasiaux 

Circocentrique is a company that was founded by Alessandro Maida and Maxime Pythoud that likes to think of the body as a playground of the possible. Circus techniques, humor, dance, and games, all paired with the energy of the artists results in unlikely fantasies and endless explorations. What counts are the bodily expression, the technical prowess, the perpetual surprise, and the absorbing rhythm... All punctuated by great bursts of laughter!

Alessandro Maida trained at the Scuola di Circo Flic in Turin, then at the École Supérieure des Arts du Cirque in Brussels (ESAC). He received the Audience Award at the "Pistes de Lancement" festival in Brussels in 2010. He is one of the founders of the Magda Clan Cie, which has been on tour with its show Era since 2012. Maxime Pythoud trained in Nyon, Switzerland at the Élastique Citrique, between 1994 and 2006 before attending the ESAC. In 2010, he received the bronze medal at the "Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain," in Paris. He will be participating in the Cirque Plume's upcoming creation, Tempus.
