Surcouf
They arrive to the rhythm of the water; one might almost think they impose their rhythm on it.
They come from afar, perhaps from long ago, together. The performance will take place right here, on this raft – stable, small but sufficient – if it stays afloat until the very end, until the final bow.
With virtuous acrobatics, two artists will have to find their balance. With great comedy, they tell a story of instability, of the urgent need to hold on and support one another. The need to stay the course when everything wavers under the weight of uncertainty.
It is circus, risk, dampness, and a great deal of humanity.
