Haute Heure
You will meet Mr. Loyal, the Ringmaster, and his assistants, the acrobats, the strong woman, and her menagerie of wild animals. As the one-man band plays enthralling and lively music, you are transported into an offbeat creative universe of wacky, humoristic, and poetic burlesque acrobatics, and popcorn! A quirky, silly, and lovable performance with no words, but lots of slightly different circus acts full of partner acrobatics, balloons, penguins, a cowboy, a lion and a lady in a very large dress made of life jackets. Let’s play!
Haute Heure reinvents the circus tradition. No fuss, no blah, performing simple and raw acts, though there may be difficulties and obstructions for the creative and surprising characters. Inspired by the spirit of Cirque Calder.
About Alexander Calder and the circus: In 1926, the American artist Alexander Calder created his Cirque Calder: an artistic rendering of a circus. It involves wire models of circus performers, from contortionists to sword eaters to lion tamers. The models were made of wire and a spectrum of found materials. During his time in Paris, Calder began improvising circus shows.
