A permanent search for equilibrium:

The use of stilts (blocked ankle) involves a permanent unbalance. To stay still on stilts with no help is impossible. This permanent search for equilibrium implies a particular postural dimension and a very fine chorographical point of view.

Our search will focus on that very point (well known by the acrobats) where time is stretched. Images of distorted reality become extraordinary where time is stopped.

It is then, in that sense, an innovating offer in the use of this item. Not only because we introduce stilts to the stage but also because it develops a new technique for this performance (to walk, to carry, to slide...)

The use of this item and the development of the technique, combined to a precise work on sound and light (collective work involving the technical crew from the beginning of the creation) brings us to define two spaces, two dimensions: the floor and the “non-floor”.

The stilt-walker is carried by her partner who, himself, stays invisible to the audience, hidden from the light, which will give the illusion to be gliding rather than walking...
