Yet this story aims to be optimistic, exploring humanity's capacity to adapt, surpass itself, start again and reinvent itself. For every wall built, a ladder can be cobbled together. For every fall, a flight can be dreamed.

Six solitary acrobats find themselves on a dizzying plexiglass wall surrounded by two trampolines. In turn, witnesses and actors of their desires and doubts, this small humanity sets out in search and explores their shadow side and their courage, which they believed was buried.

The courage to give up? The courage to carry on? In a constantly transforming set, each of their worlds tips over unexpectedly.

Beyond its highly aesthetic aspect, the acrobatic set design allows us to plunge into the intimate battles and shared challenges that we are all confronted with.

This piece reveals a kaleidoscopic story in which the human body ultimately becomes a space of freedom and the relationship with the other often proves to be the only comfort against the call of the void.
