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 launches La Butineuse in 2024, bringing under her wing the show To Bee Queen (created in 2021 through Cie Lady Cocktail). A brand new Belgian company, ready to bloom further, to keep spreading its wings. To emerge — fashionably late! Lola settles into this hive, the perfect place for her fearless desire to perform, to share, to question (herself). As always, she has brought along her trapeze, her words, and a few grand splits.
