Beneath the dark canvas, after the lantern-bearer's passage in circus-like arabesques, a faint glimmer shimmers.
Twelve resonating chimes sound : it is midnight, and the big top comes alive...
Three mischievous spirits, sculpted from the mists of imagination then lead us into a hypnotic, joyfully macabre and enigmatic dance. They come and go in various forms, rhythmically guiding the performance with their wild appearances. These playful rascals defy conventions, upheave certainties, break boundaries, and boldly mock all rules and expectations.
In the midst of this wild fandango, another character appears, the tightwire traveler. It is him we follow, and he will make us hope or shiver. It is his story, and he is the one the mischievous spirits will play with. It is with them that he will compose this great nocturnal and poetic dance, this circus odyssey.
« Beware. They could do just about anything. These rascals will catch you, throw you in the air, catch you again, they will twist your body and your mind, they will manipulate your identity, your gender and personality. They will transform you, wear your traits and make your soul theirs. »
