Les Colporteurs
small tightrope constructions for public performances
*The Star is the name of the self-standing sculpture/structure, but also the generic name for this collection of short plays.
The Star is a construction floating in space, beyond the limits of weightlessness, a sculpture/structure made of steel tubes and taught cables.
It originates from the not improbable meeting between a stage designer/scenographer creating poetic technological structures and a tightrope walker dreaming of taught wires floating in space. An invention of their imagination: a dream called Star.
On the Star, a tiny universe for tightrope walkers, Les Colporteurs imagine not only a series of short acts for the artists within the Company, but also for other tightwire artist friends invited to come and experience the structure…
