Cyr wheel · Premiere 2025
Two performers, two Cyr wheels, two different styles: Jef is pacifist and indecisive, Marica is confident and confrontational. Guided by their contrasts, the two acrobats weave a poetic and physical dialogue where conflict and complicity converge. In Difference is a journey towards a gradual break with the wheel’s traditional uses, to the point of bringing it to life.
Marica Marinoni, born in Milan in 1995, and Jef Everaert, born in Leuven in 1999, are circus artists specializing in the Cyr wheel. Both studied at the FLIC school in Turin and the CNAC in France, they developed unique approaches: Marica explores fluid, acrobatic movement, while Jef draws on his juggling background for manipulative innovation.

Juggling · Premiere 2026
Metaphoric Objects presents a series of artistic experiments in object manipulation, aimed at developing a poetic language. Led by a versatile juggler, this research manifests in evolving performances that depart from conventional structures, adapting to the specific context of each appearance and collection.
David Martin was born in Parisian region. After studying visual and media arts, he trained at the Plus petit cirque du monde in Bagneux and then at Doch in Stockholm.

Floor acrobatics, puppetry · Premiere 2026
Bound by a common loss, Marius Fouilland and Aimé Rauzier come together in a piece that questions our relationship with death and brings it into the present moment. Guided by the language of acrobatics, they give a place to the absent: puppets and humans merge in a dialogue between two worlds. Jumping, rising, tilting, falling as two, standing as four.
Marius Fouilland and Aimé Rauzier trained in floor acrobatics at the Académie Fratellini. Aimé Rauzier works as a performer in L’absolu (Cie les choses de rien) and Foraine (Cie Bal). Marius Fouilland worked as a performer with the Samuel Mathieu company for the creation of Saltarines. He founded the company Inéluctable in 2022.
Cie Dissociée (Marcelo Nunes), GHETTO
Static trapeze, fakir, clown · Premiere 2026
GHETTO depicts addiction as a silent predator, trapping its protagonist in a vicious cycle where fleeting pleasure inevitably dissolves into despair. Yet within this stark contrast between illusion and reality, a ray of hope gradually surfaces—a path to healing forged through the transformative power of suffering and resilience.
Marcelo Nunes is an author and performer whose artistic journey is rooted in an incessant quest for novelty, influenced by his experiences in Brazil and Europe. His practice focuses on three techniques: trapeze, clowning, and fakir, exploring the wild nature of humanity.
To discover at the circusnext Revelations on 12 & 13 June at the Théâtre de la Cité internationale.
