Horizon, an acrobatic urban ballet

Horizon is an in-situ creation that adapts to heritage spaces or atypical locations.

Contemporary circus artists, displacement artists and free-runners take over the buildings

for an open-air acrobatic choreography.

Initiated in 2019 for the roofs of the Opéra National de Bordeaux, Horizon was completely rewritten in 2022

to adapt to the roofs of the Cathédrale Saint-Front in Périgueux for the MIMOS festival.

In 2023, the Ministry of Culture hosted a third creation of this show as part of

Olympiade Culturelle and the European Heritage Days. For a month, the roofs of the Palais-Royal

vibrated under the acrobatics of free-runners and circus artists.

This project is designed to be built on site, with rehearsals lasting several days, under the watchful eye of passers-by.

The show is imagined from the history and specific angles of the building it occupies.

This acrobatic transformation of walls and roofs offers the public a chance to discover

architectural heritage from a different angle.

To run. To breathe.

Right up to the horizon…
