Le spectacle “Pigments”
The ‘Les Hautes Envolées’ festival invites you to Tignes, by the lake, for the aerial show ‘Pigments’, performed by a team of 18 artists and technicians, for a breathtaking and spectacular experience… 15 metres above the ground!
Fifty minutes without touching the ground! This is the challenge taken up by the CirkVOST team.
Fifteen metres above the ground, this aerial show demonstrates that the solidarity of a group is truly put to the test. Individuality must be taken into account, as each of us is unique, but individualism can prove dangerous, as any personal initiative may destabilise the group if it fails to consider the group’s constraints.
Some will see it as a striking allegory of today’s society, others as an act of defiance, rebelling against the laws of gravity. But everyone, young and old alike, will experience the exhilarating pleasure of shared flight.
