Théâtre : Le Ring de Katharsy

Description

Alice Laloy / La Compagnie s?Appelle Reviens

Show programmed as part of the SPRING festival from March 9 to April 8, 2026 – Festival international des nouvelles formes de cirque en Normandie, proposed by Plateforme 2 Pôles Cirque en Normandie / La Brèche à Cherbourg ? Cirque-Théâtre d?Elbeuf.

Ready for a frenzied game of giant video game? In the ring, the avatars are none other than humans transformed into puppets, under the control of two gamers ready to do anything to win. They evolve to the rhythm of the levels to be won, like so many reflections of our society of hyper-competition and consumerism, of the violence and servility of human relationships. Rounds follow rounds, orders are unleashed, avatars bend to the rules until… This show, as physical as it is meticulous, resembles an almost silent Shakespearean tragedy, but not without music. The referee is a lyric singer who leads the ball, perched on her pedestal. With swords of Damocles to spice up the matches, this up-to-the-minute tournament, as funny as it is chilling, transforms the stakes of manipulation into an unheard-of choreographic score.

From age 12 – Running time: 1h25
Registration required
