EVEIL - The Awakening

“Art does not reproduce what is visible, but makes visible what is not always so.“ – Paul Klee Éveil (The Awakening) is the show that synthesizes the entire poetics of Les Farfadais. There are ever-new, non-standard acrobatics, there is a daydream atmosphere. There are the large creatures that seem a bizarre cross between classical mythology and the Japanese manga world. There are the interactions between projections and human bodies capable of infinite grace and brute strength at the same time. And above all there is a story: Éveil is a wordless tale about the encounter between beings from distant worlds, from initial mistrust to final harmony. The show has a tight pace, continuous changes of scene, costumes and atmosphere. It is not a succession of acrobatic numbers for their own sake; it is like entering a fairy-tale book read in one go, laughing, shivering, crying. Éveil, after more than 200 performances worldwide, returns to Italy renewed, with a richer cast and new technologies always used creatively and in the service of the show. LES FARFADAIS One of the most prestigious acrobatic performance companies in the world, the French Les Farfadais incarnate the PARSEC spirit 100%. Freely creative, described by the specialist press as “the creators of the unreal”, capable of imagination but also of grounding, extraordinary both in the world of theatre and in corporate events and theme-park shows.
