This show under the big top at La Villette is a not-to-be-missed rendezvous with the next generation of circus performers, a chance to discover the artists who have just graduated from the CNAC, France’s National Centre of Circus Arts.
For the seven young talents performing in Burning with Desire, this show marks both the culmination of a three-year course at the National Centre of Circus Arts and the start of a highly promising professional career. Set to the electro-tropical sounds of Kwalud’s music, their thesis performance gives them the opportunity to display their knowledge, skills, and practices (balance, slack rope, Chinese pole, acrobatics, acro-dance, Cyr wheel, and others) as they perform the unique style of the show’s two creators. This 2024 creation has something special about it: one of the authors comes from the world of the circus, the other, from theatre. Stage director David Gauchard and juggler Martin Palisse have already collaborated, and they share a deep interest in music. Their artistic closeness, their passion for the circus, and their desire to pass on their knowledge to the next generation will make for a memorable show, for performers and audiences alike.
