Le Polpesse
45 mins / From 6 years old / Saison culturelle / Coproduction
- Balls, Clubs
Attention à ta tête, ou les études sur la chute is a project born of the desire of three jugglers, Cecilia Zucchetti, Gioia Santini and Francesca Fioraso, to see juggling from another point of view, leaving aside the frustration of not succeeding to celebrate the beauty of imperfection.
Three jugglers, a bathtub, 100 balls, 11 clubs, 12 hands.
These are the elements that will give life to a sensitive, intimate universe in which young and old alike will be immersed for 45 minutes. A show that celebrates perseverance in the face of downfall, where the focus is not on success but on the path to get there, embracing failure together with humor.
Cie Le Polpesse
Three Italian women meet in France: Gioia lives in Nîmes, Francesca in Toulouse and Cecilia in Crest, Drôme. A trio and three Italian sounds: Rome, Milan and Vicenza.
The “Le Polpesse” company was born from the desire of Francesca Fioraso, Gioia Santini and Cecilia Zucchetti to get together to play with lightness, to question their discipline and to create a common language to share on stage.
Attention à ta tête will be the company’s first creation, sketched out during an initial residency in April 2024.
