Spectacle de danse

Dance and acrobatics show "les traceurs"

 

10 July 2025

 

 

Rachid Ouramdane – Compagnie de Chaillot

A long-term adventure with variable geometry, Les Traceurs is an outdoor extension of the indoor experiment carried out by Corps extrêmes, based on practices that defy the laws of gravity. The result is a series of crossings, carried out in particular by the great highliner Nathan Paulin, stretching out fascinating poetic threads in different parts of the world.

What is ‘Les traceurs’?

Les Traceurs and Corps extrêmes are two perfectly complementary versions of an ambitious project developed by Rachid Ouramdane based on sports and artistic practices that reflect the eternal human desire to take flight.

 

With Les Traceurs, aerial artists (acrobats, trapeze artists, etc.) and celestial athletes (highliners) are invited to perform at heights on remarkable sites – in both natural and urban settings. Over and above the eminently spectacular nature of these performances, the guiding principle is to highlight the sensitive aspect of their appropriation, to give a different perception of the places in which they take place and to reveal the intimate relationship that each performer has with his or her own practice.

 

Since 2020, several performances have taken place in France (Grenoble, Annecy, Aussois, Paris, Sète) and abroad (Italy, Brazil). They have all been performed by Nathan Paulin, the undisputed highline record-holder, who can also be seen splitting the air in Corps extrêmes. A sound montage designed by Jean-Baptiste Julien and Rachid Ouramdane based on first-hand accounts accompanies these crossings, giving an in-depth insight into what drives him.
