Mathurin Bolze hits the heights on the high plateaux in a piece for seven acrobats that explores the poetry of weightlessness!

Lyon native Mathurin Bolze is a leading light on France’s contemporary circus scene. In this new piece, he delves into the aesthetics of ruins: their poetry, the way they kindle the imagination, their evocative power. Yet in this new show there are no vestiges but a suspended platform and a trampoline, where the performers make their way through swirling fog and wispy steam escaping from fumaroles. Acrobatic variations, rebounds and other head-spinning games punctuate a narrative that plays with collision, with sequences assembled by associating ideas and images, with continuity and clean breaks... Les hauts plateaux tells an epic tale of the world’s folly in a maze of magic ladders, trampolines and Chinese shadows.
