Le Quart de seconde
La Butineuse
Swinging trapeze and roller skates
Clinging to the rungs of an open-air ladder, suspended eight meters above the ground on their pile of scrap metal, Lola and Elsa invite us to share the dizzying uncertainty that runs through them. From one digression to the next, their dialogue becomes sharp, exhilarating, and delightfully absurd.
Le Quart de Seconde threads together the beads of their beliefs and the role they thought they played in a society that, only yesterday, was telling them that artists were essential… Are they?

The company
La Butineuse (BE)
Lola launched La Butineuse in 2024, bringing with her the show To Bee Queen (created in 2021 by Cie Lady Cocktail). So here is a brand-new Belgian company, still blossoming, always expanding. Emerging, well past its time! Lola settles into this hive, which is perfect for her intrepid desire to perform, to share, and to question (herself). As always, she’s brought along her trapeze, her words, and a few splits.
