On stage

Compagnie H.M.G
Jonathan Guichard and Lauren Bolze, concept and performance of Thaumazein (acrobatics on a giant spinning top).

The show

On an immense moving spinning top six meters in diameter, two acrobats meet, searching for balance in a tilted world where gravity seems altered. Bodies slide, cling, fall and get back up to the rhythm of an apparatus they don't control. Between clumsiness, misunderstandings and alliances, a story tinged with humor and poetry takes shape: in a world that spins too fast, an outstretched hand toward the other is all that's left to keep standing.

A work-in-progress version of the show was presented at a meeting with the artists in October 2023. Recommended from age 6; running time 50 minutes. Saturday, December 19 at 7 PM (free toddler care with registration), then Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st at 4:30 PM. Buy one ticket, get one free with the Plongeoir Card.
