To give life to Möbius, the great company of acrobats XY, among the most acclaimed in France and word-wide, was inspired by the movements of the flocks of swallows, the schools of fish and sudden changes in nature. Under the vigilant eye of Rachid Ourandame, 19 performers on stage inscribe to the practice of “Acrobatic portès” with a swirling choreography, made of flashes, sudden and reckless flights of clouds and towers of bodies, in an exorbitant unraveling. At the crossroads between dance and acrobatics, dream and gravity, the inauguration of the thirty-sixth edition of REf becomes a celebration, a leap into the unpredictable thrill of the void, where the strength and fragility of the human condition overlap with the mysterious and inscrutable charm of nature’s rituals.
