360° Short performances - International artists on two 360° stages
The 360° Shorts are a highlight, a daily changing programme on two open-air stages with selected international short performances on all festival days. This is where the heart of the festival pulsates. Whether circus or dance, whether on the ground or in the air, whether spectacular or political, funny or avant-garde, anything is possible. It just must be short and the audience sits 360° around the stage. Poetic language in a handstand, questions of identity in a whirling Cyr-wheel, queer-burlesque dance acrobatics, a minimalist headstand duet or ecstatic roller skate punk - here you can see what is currently happening in international dance and circus creation. Free entry - first come first served, in the middle of the festival grounds!

The State
The State is a haunting solo, by a fierce aerial artist. A little sound lights the darkness. Movement erupts. Boiling with words she brings melody to share and to scare: “Here we sit, accepting the silence and ignoring the sirens”.

Miraj
Miraj is an exploration of power dynamics and roles within the male born body. High heels - higher status, TweniTweni own the stage with their atmospheric mystique and changing states of physical tension. This is a queer-burlesque firework of partner-acrobatics.

Justine Berthillot and Xavier Roumagnac (FR)
Desorden
This performance for rollerblades and drums is a dark, hypnotising pop-ritual, with a subtly vengeful energy. Under evocative rhythms, Berthillot slips and falls like a marionette in a trance, moved by sound. The energy persistently arises from pulsating windings of the musical universe.
