COSMOS
A fabric hangs above the stage. Beneath it, Ashtar Muallem, a Franco-Palestinian acrobat and dancer, clings, grasps, and swings, searching for a fragile balance. She questions her desire to believe and understand with a gaze that is both lucid and benevolent. In this solo piece directed by Clément Dazin, delicate words and an ethereal body paint a picture of a weightless Cosmos.
MAHAMAT
Once an engineer and the pride of his family, Mahamat Fofana chose a different path: to become an acrobat. By naming this solo piece after himself, Mahamat retraces a personal journey at the crossroads of two worlds, that of his roots
and that of his dreams. Through a combination of circus, dance and words, he reveals in this show directed by Clément Dazin a thirst for freedom that resonates with the intimate and the universal.
