Cirque du Docteur Paradi
Cirque du Docteur Paradi is one of the first companies which, in the 1970s and 1980s, took a fresh look at circus arts.
In 2013, the company’s founders, Jean-Christophe Herveet and Régine Hamelin, handed over. And it is Pascaline Herveet who takes up the torch. By integrating the group Les Elles into the projects and by creating the new event Les Débroussailleuses in Trémentines (Loire Valley), the company wishes to break down the barriers between the arts and networks of performing arts.

L’Amazone (Amazon), Bouche Cousue (Tight-lipped) and la Joconde (Mona Lisa) revolt after the announcement of a redundancy plan. They tell about their body, their work, love, loneliness, and power-based relationships.
Les Petits Bonnets is a circus fiction, a poetic and powerful story based on actual events. A mise en abyme of the chronicle of a workers’ revolt grappling with the media co-opting their fight.
An intimate and striking opera featuring the band Les Elles who chant their physical performance on-stage.
