Presentation

Creation 2025

A space from nowhere. On the ground: beams, ropes, stones and an immense white sail. In this landscape, three characters with distinct temperaments invent a journey guided by play. 

 

Playing Still is a tribute to inner worlds, but also to the act of carrying on, persisting, never stopping. Their actions, premeditated or impulsive, form a living writing where fine acrobatics and raw gestures coexist. Alone or together, they transform the space and the objects: a piece of wood becomes a boat, a stone takes flight, a storm breaks out. The real shifts, the imaginary takes shape. 

 

Between physical language, images and words, Cirque Barbette invites everyone to build their own story. A quiet manifesto to affirm that play goes on, always.
