Möbius

For its fifth creative production, Compagnie XY explored the outer confines of acrobatics, through analogy, by seeking out concepts of natural phenomena such as murmurings. That form of communication that can be felt in the flight of starlings : a choreography of hundreds of birds, so well-timed and so dense that it sometimes eclipses the sun, even just for an instant… The collective thus pursues its research on acrobatic language, this time by anchoring the circus act at the heart of continuous movement, a « continuum » that allows situations to reverse, upset and swing without having to oppose ones with others. The bare and immaculately white set presents like an infinite space that electrifyingly empties and fills, where the action is deployed like a chain reaction. A responsive

and sensorial territory where neither nature, nor culture, nor body or spirit would be opposed. It is through this approach and this resonance with his own work that a collaboration with choreographer Rachid Ouramdane was born. He was able to offer his words,

gestures and vision to the collective. Veritable ode to the living, Möbius thus returns us to the absolute necessity of «creating

together» as the basis for all forms of subsistence, perpetuation and invention.
