The closing act « Aaah »

This act is inspired by Lucile’s inner sensation in the Cyr wheel and the need to express and explore. She transforms into a constantly shifting, entrancing, powerful element transporting the audience through an emotional journey.

She explores the different qualities and textures playing with the contrast of smooth movements where you can feel the density of the water in the air and the raw power and driving force of the water and human body. 

Created and performed by Perline Cayrel and Louna Contival

THE DUO Perline Cayrel & Louna Contival

Louna and Perline both started in the circus at a very young age, in France. After high school, they decided to professionalize in this domain and both integrated ECJV, a circus preparatory school, in Amiens, where they met.

Having a lot of fun on their aerial rope, and sharing the same artistic vision, they continued their training and adventures together all the way to Stockholm University of the Arts.

Today, mixing circus and physical theater, Louna and Perline like exploring how two bodies on one single rope can travel, how they can carry and hold each other suspended on this cotton tube. Their complicity takes them along a journey between laughter and tears.

When she doesn’t do rope, Perline is also very interested in object manipulation, clown, bricolage,  accordion, and many other things!

As for Louna, besides circus, she also likes to express herself through movement, dance, and words!
