Damien DROIN plunges into the heart of an inner revolt, recounting moments of vertigo and doubt that he may go through, face to face with others and with himself. That said, 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 improvised. For every fall, a flight can be dreamed of.

Six solitary acrobats find themselves on a dizzying plexiglass wall, surrounded by two trampolines. By turns witnesses and actors of their desires and doubts, this small humanity sets out in search of itself and explores their shadow side and their courage, which they believed buried. The courage to give up? The courage to carry on?

In a constantly changing set, each person's world tips over unexpectedly. Beyond its highly aesthetic appearance, the acrobatic scenography allows us to plunge into the intimate battles and shared challenges that we all face.

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