Inextremist Circus
It's well known that circus artists take often perilous risks, thwarting gravity, pushing the limits of their bodies and taunting the laws of physics as much as they play with our nerves as spectators. Yann Ecauvre, for his part, has chosen to share the weight of risk by inviting the audience to get involved with him in the proposed challenges. Equipped with huge, six-meter-long beams, like a giant Mikado, he provokes his audience into combinations, each more unstable and unpredictable than the last. The fear of falling begets laughter, and as disaster is averted, this interactive and unifying show has the gift of reviving confidence in oneself and in others, calming our negative anticipations and reassuring us that the worst is often avoided and that we can manage. It's a confidence booster, a lesson in life through shared experience, a common search for balance through play and joy.
