Machine de Cirque – Ghost Light

The curtain falls. The theatre is plunged into darkness. Only a single light watches guard: the “Ghost Light.” The ghosts that inhabit the space are drawn toward the ghost light. As they recall the energy of a past life, they push each other around, push each other away, enjoy themselves, tear each other apart, only to fall into an embrace once again.

“Ghost Light: Between Fall and Flight” makes visible what is invisible. After ten years of working together on stages all over the world, Maxim Laurin and Ugo Dario lead us into a captivating performance that features a blend of stunning acrobatic feats, choreography, ghostly lights and up- beat music.

A reflection of the journey of a partnership, the teeterboard propels Max & Ugo toward each other in the euphoria of flight, the levity of weight- lessness, and the fatality of the inevitable fall.

Let yourself be moved by this story that touches the spirit beyond mere mortal words.

 

These two artists have been working together for 12 years. They have pushed themselves to the outer edges of their discipline and shown remarkable tenacity.  Journal de Québec (Canada), 2020
