VOÛTE

EVENT DESCRIPTION

A breathtaking performance by CNAC, France’s National Center for Circus Arts.​

​A French collective blending music and visual art into transformative performances. It explores conflict –internal, within a company, a society, a world. Inspiration comes from the richness of interactions with oneself and others, from the beauty of flaws, the violence of repressed or expressed emotions, those that imprison in silence, those spoken hesitantly, those that overflow until they feel unmanageable. An aesthetic of purity: an invitation to contemplate bodies that resist, struggle, debate, wait, support, and carry. An exploration of inner storms and calm after the tempest.

Presented by: French May Arts Festival
Exclusive Sponsor: The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust
Partner: Tai Kwun
Produced by: Cirque du Corbak (from CNAC)

ABOUT THE ARTIST / ORGANISER

The Cirque du Corbak was founded by three artists from the 2024 graduating class of the National Center for Circus Arts (CNAC). Antonin Cucinotta, specializing in acrobatic lifts and the Chinese pole, developed his interest in collective work at the Piste d’Azur circus school alongside Uma Pastor; together, they create an acrobatic vocabulary at the intersection of lifts and the Chinese pole. Marine Robquin combines her practice of contemporary dance with acrobatics, exploring more specifically the relationship to the ground and the use of distinctive gestures. Their company advocates for a circus of connection, rooted in cooperation and encounter.
