Six Pieds sur Terre

Lapsus [Fr]

Circus, bricks and eggshells

A trolley creaks.
They, carefree, push.
Together they think up playgrounds made of “bits and bricks”. They build up (wobbly) towers, (weak) bridges, (twisted) monuments. Obviously everything wipes out. Between falling bodies and wasted clouts, juggling clubs fly, unicycle zigzags and eggs crunch.
In a joyful and playful mess, six pairs of feet walk upon this Earth Cause after all, teasing a lot each other means loving each other a bit, isn’t it ?

The company

Lapsus [Fr]

The Lapsus Company was founded in 2010 by six circus artists, born out of a friendship trained at the Lyon School of Circus ten years earlier. It presents a sensitive, aesthetic, and committed circus, with a project led by a collective direction. Its challenging yet accessible performances presents powerful universes with refined aesthetics.

Initially, the company creates collective and multidisciplinary performances such as Six Pieds sur terre (2011), Boutelis (2016), and the opening performance of the 41st World Circus Festival of Tomorrow (2020). It then shifts its focus to environmental issues, launching a new cycle of creation with Le Chant du vertige (2021) and Les Grands vertiges (2021), in collaboration with novelist Pierre Ducrozet. The company continues to explore the connection to living beings by developing Ramures (2024), a site-specific project in and around the Grésigne Forest (South of France), in partnership with L’Été de Vaour.

In 2024, the Lapsus Company opens itself to new perspectives and welcomes Florent Lestage as a co-director for the creation of the all-terrain performance Il paraît que (premiere in 2026).
