A lecture on the somersault. Faire un tour sur soi-même is a very personal investigation about movement.
A one-man show halfway between an autobiographical account of twenty years of acrobatic practice and a lecture i.e. the accumulation of observations, images and philosophical, sociological and historical reading.
What is a somersault? What is it for? Where to see somersaults? How long have we been performing somersaults? These are some of the questions I will try to answer.
-> Faire un tour sur soi-même has won Artcena’s prize for the production of playwriting 2022 (Aide nationale à la création de textes dramatiques 2022).
