Damien DROIN delves into the heart of an inner revolt, recounting the moments of dizziness and doubt he can experience when facing others and himself. Yet, this narrative aims to be optimistic, exploring humanity's capacity to adapt, surpass itself, start over, 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 embarks on a quest, exploring their hidden darkness and courage they believed buried. The courage to give up? The courage to continue?

In a constantly transforming set, each person's world unexpectedly shifts. Beyond its highly aesthetic aspect, the acrobatic scenography allows us to delve into the intimate battles and common challenges we all face. This piece reveals a kaleidoscopic story where the human body ultimately becomes a space of freedom and where the relationship with others often proves to be the only comfort against the call of the void.
