A look back: circusnext invites Carlo Cerato for a juggling workshop in Paris

A few days ago, circusnext organized a juggling workshop at the Paris Anim Angel Parra center!

It was the opportunity for around 15 teenagers, mostly hearing-impaired young people from the Center Augustin Grosselin – Léopold Bellan, to collectively discover juggling with Carlo Cerato (circusnext 2021 Laureate with EDO Cirque) during a enriching and convivial week.

In partnership with Casdal 14.

The Barks company in Paris for Aimer l’été

New free circusnext event on July 8 in Paris: come and discover Moon – cabinet de curiosités lunaires, a gravity defying creation by the Barks company!

During the summer of 2022, circusnext welcomed the Barks company for a performance of Moon – cabinet de curiosités lunaires in Paris.

The Barks company, associated with circusnext, performs its creation Moon – Cabinet de curiosités lunaires in the heart of Paris on Saturday July 8. Much like a cabinet of curiosities, Moon is conceived as a constellation of surprising structures, around which are imagined small antigravity performances, each lasting around ten minutes. The company will present 2 of these small forms: the seesaw and its latest structure, the platform of unbalance.

This will be followed by a workshop, a playful course of balances and imbalances to play with the perception of space, thanks to special glasses: the Invertoscopes. The show and workshop take place in the courtyard of the Boulard elementary school (Paris 14th), an atypical environment in which this ambulatory creation can take on a whole new spatial dimension!

Barks company, what is it?

In 2014, Bastien Dausse co-founded the Barks company with François Lemoine. Bastien is an artist whose core work is (dis)balance and the desire to play with gravity. Within the Barks company, he conducts research on gravity, combining acrobatics with scenography, sculpture, science and other disciplines. With his work, Bastien Dausse develops a singular aesthetic and aims to propose a vision of art that questions our relationship with everyday life.

Since 2022, Barks has been an associated company of circusnext.

 

As part of Aimer l’été dans le 14ème

While the 2023 Laureate projects were selected in Paris a few weeks ago, the first selection step for the 2024 edition is already underway. National pre-selection committees are gathering from May to July to study the 120 applications received this year. Each committee is composed of members of the country or regional platform, as well as local professionals and artists. 1 or 2 members of the circusnext artistic jury also attend to ensure cohesion in the selection process and enrich the programmers’ points of view on the projects studied.
Up to 5 projects are selected by each committee and debated again at the 2nd selection step, the European Selection of Finalists, in November.
N.B: The French committee is an exception, as the number of applications received is higher than for the other committees, so up to 10 projects can be selected.

Edouard Peurichard - Le repos du guerrier

Doisacordes – Cá entre nós

THE PROJECT / The expression could be translated as: «It’s just between us». A delimited space, ritual, sacred, and most importantly a refuge. The relationships and movements that emerge in this space are born from the need to connect and re-connect, concretely, as two. 

BIO / Doisacordes company was born in 2019 from the encounter between Thiago Souza (Brazilian) and Roberto Willcock (Chilean) during their training at the ENC (National Circus School of Brazil). They were brought together by their common passion for rope. After a year at the FLIC in Turin, they both moved to Barcelona in 2022 where they are developing their first creation project “Ça entre nós”. 

Palismesta – Masha

THE PROJECT /  In Masha, the oil slips from the bodies and ends up on the floor. Taking a step forward involves the risk of slipping. Masha is a space to observe, interpret and coexist with the unexpected, questioning the erasure of the subject. With this creation, Andrea and Sergio question the new parameters that we must face as Humanity. 

BIO /  Andrea is a researcher, teacher and architect. Sergio is an artist, social worker and researcher. In their work, they question the relational mechanisms that allow the interests and ideas of each person to coexist within the same group.  Masha is the first creation of company Palimsesta born at the end 2021.  

  

Alice Rende – Fora

THE PROJECT / “Fora” means “outside” in Portuguese, Catalan, Occitan, Sardinian…Forced to contort herself to fit into an overly narrow space, she decides to escape. Once outside, the contortions continue to echo in her body, she continues to defy her invisible walls. This solo is an allegory of the condition of those who are given limited space in society. 

BIO / Alice Rende studied at the National Circus School of Brazil and at Esacto’Lido. She participated in the creation of Silenzio by Roberto Magro and created her first solo Passages. In parallel with the creation of her solo Fora, she is doing her doctoral research on vertigo on stage and gives classes in contortionist movement.

Edouard Peurichard – Le repos du guerrier

THE PROJECT / Le Repos du guerrier is a solo which offers an inner perspective, (with a touch of irony), on the path of a circus artist. We see a knife thrower-acrobat who tries to re-en-act his professional career. A one-man show, a bit crazy, in which we find this form of «joyful iconoclasm» that is so unique in Edouard’s work. 

BIO /  Edouard trained at the Lido. He has worked as a performer for several companies (Akolyte, PHH, Cabarazi, Cie Peux/ Pas…). He teaches adapted circus with the association Par Haz’art and La Grainerie and regularly holds masterclasses. He collaborated as an author-performer with Arnaud Saury on the show Dans ma chambre.
