Street Theatre

The Flight is part of an unusual experience; it’s an invitation to look at our streets from a different point of view. A wonderful procession, an imaginary world unfolds: a troupe made up of crazy characters, precious and magnificent birds, looking like stained-glass windows hanging from the sky.
They’re inviting us to follow them in their aerial dance, in a pop-rock flight of fantasy fuelled by their energy. Movement is the central point of this epic show, seen in the choreography as well as in the symbolic of animate objects.
The earth and the sky are merging. The world is shifting under our feet. We get carried away by the dizziness, free as if we were flying.

Birds are present in all environments, from the tropics to the poles, from the lowlands to the highlands. But some of them are endangered species. We would like to draw attention on this threat by paying them tribute.

The artists are from France
