Double Feature : Traces and Wake of the Abyss

Like in the good old days (who were not so good come to think of it in some ways...) here a double feature... 2 reviews instead of one.
Here's 2 events I saw on the 30 and 31 of December 2008. First (but last) was Traces. 4 guys from canada and a Girl from france gives us an entertaining show of physical prowess, dance and music. Very impressive bunch of guys climbing mast, skating, using basket ball ballon to deliver a very entertaining and funny play where a bit of emotion seems to rear its lovely head (especially coming from Héloïse). But the bulk came from the proposal on stage by one of the performist. Cheers Francesco !



The second and first event was James Thierrée, Veillée des abysses.


With one member short (and poor lad was he not missed at all I must say), James and his crew delivers one truly magnificient spectacle. Pantomime, danse, music, burlesque, athletics and acrobatics, all this melts in a delightful yet powerfully emotional work of living art that cannot leave one's insensitive.


And at some times... You seems to discovers the traces of the famous grand father in james 's work... How he should be proud.

2 great shows, a bit different yet similar I can only urge you to see... Be amazed or be moved but feel.
