In difference

Using their differences as a creative driving force, a circus duo explore the two sides of the same discipline: the Cyr wheel. With a skilful blend of fall and balance, their performance language is shaped by poetry around a piece of apparatus that has become 'alive'.

Jef and Marica embarked on this first joint creation with the idea of combining their differences to turn them into a strength. Jef works on balancing, Marica concentrates on falling. Jef is pacifist and indecisive, Marica convinced and confrontational. Using their very different bodies and personalities, mixing acrobatics and juggling, they magnificently explore the advantages and difficulties of thinking in antithesis within a couple, to build a physical journey inside the ring that unites them. Between confrontation and complicity, the two circus artists, whose bodies are at times surrealistically deformed, place the apparatus at odds with its usual uses, making it a character in its own right. With sensitivity, delicacy, but also brutality, looking for each other in the other, the two actors form a great arch, eminently artistic, which connects them to the audience with panache.
