Our work
OUR WORK
The work of the company is centered around duo trapeze. Together we have created our own vocabulary using dynamic technique and improvisation tools. Playfulness is a key word in our work. Our mission is to try to open up the space of duo trapeze. We enjoy breaking pattern, physical or in our relation together and with the trapeze.
We emphasise on the importance of details, to create satisfying images which evolve throughout the performance. Those details show the effect of small moments growing into unexpected consequences.
Our vision as a company is to share our complicity, create absurd atmospheres and communicate our energies through our circus technique. We make everyday objects alive and create unexpected installations. Our circus language is fed by games, rigging mechanisms, and simplicity.
OUR WORK ON THE TRAPEZE
SEBASTIEN
Sébastien was introduced to circus at a very young age through the youth circus of his father. He then followed a journey exploring the possibility of trying many circus disciplines to finally choose duo trapeze.
After high school, he decided with his partner Morgane to continue exploring duo trapeze at Codarts. They followed for two years the bachelor program and then took the decision to deepen their approach to circus at DOCH.
They are now based in Stockholm where they just graduated from DOCH.
Sébastien likes to build and create objects, imagine systems and has always new ideas. In the company Sébastien handles logistic and technical parts.
