MoonIt’s a constellation of small antigravity shapes. A cabinet of mechanical and organic curiosities, just like our constantly evolving universe, to explore and contemplate. It’s a search for moments of lightness, where we allow ourselves to dream of an everyday life with infinite physical possibilities. Each of the mechanisms imagined by Bastien Dausse provides a new answer to the question: how do you defy gravity? The acrobats question this new physicality made possible by machines, poking fun at it and making it their own.
Barks Company
Compagnie Barks is a contemporary circus company created around the desire to play with gravity. Bastien Dausse created the show “Les idées grises” with François Lemoine in 2016. This first show has been performed around a hundred times in France and abroad (Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, Italy), and the short form was notably presented in 2016 at the Avignon Festival IN.
Bastien Dausse continues his research by developing new projects. Balance is at the heart of his work, and he plays with gravity by combining acrobatic material with scenography, sculpture, science and other genre encounters. Based on this research, he created the show “Moon / cabinet de curiosités lunaires” in 2022. Conceived as an acrobatic and mechanical exhibition, it features multiple performances based on antigravity machines that challenge the laws of physics and question our relationship with everyday life.
