En attendant le grand soir

Le Doux Supplice

Welcome to the ball! 'En attendant le grand soir' is an impressive circus show, but just as much an invitation to let those dancing legs swing freely. Nine acrobats, each with their own personalities, turn to dancing, jumping, DJ'ing to tell a story about life, love and the urge to give your all.

The audience sits around the stage. In the middle, a ragtag group slowly starts to play, to turn, to challenge gravity itself, revealing moments of dance and spectacular acrobatics. 'En attendant le grand soir' is an ode to dancing, a gateway by which the audience little by little realises that they are fully part of a party. Don't try to resist getting drawn into this collective adventure, but simply surrender to the sweet vertigo of dance.
