Day 2 brought us to see the Centre National des Arts de Cirque (CNAC) with « Zooo ». it was ‘different’ as the performance occurred in three places at once, and every 20 minutes the audience got up and moved to the next bit. In a purely artistic sense it was very well played, but a total horror to photograph. I did manage one I was pleased with, from up in the roof of the Dôme de Gascogne…
Later that same evening I traveled to the other side of the town to see Cirque Sans Noms with « Abaque » – this was more clowns than pure circus, and I enjoyed it a lot – despite the VERY low lighting for 90% of the performance…
Day 3 was back to CiRCa and Baro d’Evel with « Là » – I’ve photographed this company before, and they’ve often used my images so it was a pleasure to see a new piece – however there’s a moratorium on the images and I can’t publish certain sequences without an OK from the company. This one doesn’t give the game away!
