Out of the blue

Frédéri and Sébastien, hitherto terrestrial acrobats, immerse themselves in a giant aquarium and invent a new, unexpected circus discipline : free-diving. Taking the plunge is no longer a metaphor. Playing with gravity, rediscovering the sensations of foetal life, that is the challenge for these human fish. Behind the performance lies the idea of a world to which it is not advisable to give in because it is terribly self-destructive. Free-diving requires a state of consciousness where listening to yourself, your environment and others is paramount. The slowness of the movements thus sketches out a return to the beginning. "Le spectaculaire d’Out of the blue, son statut de curiosité dans le milieu du nouveau cirque et dans celui de la plongée, n’empêchent donc pas Frédéri Vernier et Sébastien Davis-VanGelder de s’immerger dans des zones plus graves, parfois sombres" -Scèneweb, 23 mars 2022
