Reclaim

Reclaim is an imaginary ritual loosely inspired by the Ko'ch in Central Asia, where women attempt to build an egalitarian relationship with men in order to offer a fairer world to future generations.
What is proposed here is not a show, but a collective experience. This project is seen as a necessity, a form of secular prayer. An extraordinary moment to be experienced as a return to the circus of origins, characterized by savagery, the circle, strangeness, sometimes monstrosity, hyper proximity, and fear.
An opera singer, two cellists, and five circus performers performing acrobatic lifts are literally surrounded by the stands and spectators, in disturbing proximity. Reclaim is an act of resistance that means making oneself capable of recovering, of reclaiming what one has been separated from.

Before diving into this collective experience, settle into the convivial space of the Grand Manège, specially arranged for the occasion, and indulge in some light refreshments accompanied by wine or hot apple juice.
