Thursday brought me to the parc Endoumingue in Auch where the companies had erected two huge circus tents.
The first up was AKOREACRO and « Dans ton coeur » (In your heart) – there’s something very reassuring about this company – total professionals, you know that you will have a good spectacle – and this was certainly the case tonight.
The performance lasted 1h 15minutes and was dynamite from the start! Here’s another one – look at the image closely…
I only had to walk about 10 metres to get to my next spectacle – CirkVOST and « Hurt me tender ». This was quite good, dynamic etc. but for me not as ‘competent’ as AKOREACRO – that’s not to say it was bad, it was just not as coherent as a whole for me – but the artists were certainly supercharged and gave their all – not bad at all.
After these two, my last performance was back at CiRCa in the Salle Bernard Turin – I’m beginning to wonder if this salle hasn’t got a jinx or something as the performance was, well, how can I say….boring? This was La JUNE with « DRU » – to start with the I wasn’t allowed to make any noise – there was no backing music or sounds of any sort, and the two girls on the stage basically just jumped up and down onto two trapezes. This lasted for 45 minutes….it was long, very long…
Better luck next time….
Day 8 (Friday) I didn’t see anything – I was tired and the only one I had programmed was probably going to be very slow so I stayed at home…more on day 9 (Saturday)
