D’irque et Fien

Sensitive, poetic and burlesque, Le Carrousel des moutons (The Carousel of sheep) is a piece of silent circus, consisting of a series of numbers in which the two creators thrust us into the center of their brilliant fantasy. Here we will find such oddities as a trapeze broom, a piano-acrobat, a body-circus tent and a slew of thoughts woven out of stars. The circus ring opens up before our eyes as we watch – astonished – as thousands of sheep hurtle around it. Le Carrousel des moutons: it’s like watching with your eyes firmly shut, seeing the impossible become reality. We invite audiences young and old to take our outstretched hands, the better to grasp our dreams and to enter them --.
