Les grands vertiges
Lapsus [Fr]
Reading and performance
Bodies on stage. Real and fantasized bodies which together tell a story, that of a young girl of her century, confused, exalted, audacious. Ahead of her, all the challenges and tremors of our world. She feels ready to face it. She goes on a journey, she gets lost in the jungle, she mixes with another body than her own, she tries, she falls and gets up again.
The novelist’s narrative and the choreographic scores of the circus artists intersect and feed off each other. Each person then freely embodies this young girl through falls, wild embraces, flying objects, tormented dances, desires for elsewhere; evanescent illustrations.
Circus, dance and text come together to tell the story of our hurried and furious lives, caught up in the great dizziness of the present time.

The company
Lapsus [Fr]
Cie Lapsus was founded in 2010 by six circus artists, based on a friendship forged ten years earlier at the Lyon circus school.
It offers a sensitive, aesthetic and committed circus, in a project supported by a collegial management team. The company’s proposals are both demanding and accessible, offering a powerful universe of polished aesthetics.
Initially, it created collective, multidisciplinary shows with Six Pieds sur terre (2011), Boutelis (2016) and the opening tableau for the 41st Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain (2020). it then turned its research to environmental issues, launching a new creative cycle with Le Chant du vertige (2021) and Les Grands vertiges (2021) in collaboration with novelist Pierre Ducrozet. It continues to question the link with the living world by developing Ramures (2024-2025), a regional project around and in the Grésigne forest in the Tarn region, in partnership with Eté de Vaour.
In 2024, the Lapsus company opened up to new perspectives and welcomed Florent Lestage as co-director for the creation of the all-terrain form “Il paraît que” (creation 2026).
