La Volte cirque
La Volte is a circus company that was created in 2018 by Matthieu Gary and Sidney Pin. In 2016, in collaboration with Collectif Porte27 they produced the show Chute! which has been touring since. Following that, the two associates moved to Nantes in order to investigate the art of acrobatics through the production of shows / lectures, performance art as well as the organisation of workshops, for non-professional audiences for example.

Attempting a spectacular dialogue, two acrobats of the same size, weight, and age formulate interrogations:
What does the acrobat tell us? What can he teach us?
What does an acrobat tell us as he falls? How is he prepared to withstand gravity?
As he leaps through the air, does the acrobat dream of flying or falling?
What sort of relationship does he have with death?
With life? With risk-taking?
With fear of heights?
