Joli Vyann present an innovative fusion of circus, dance and theatre in their show ‘Lançe moi en l’air’.

This stunning duet is about the sensitivity and connection between two people, that often brings up questions of contradiction. Can we be strong whilst relaxed? Heavy whilst light, grounded whilst levitated, submissive whilst in control? It explores a mixture of strength and weakness. In a mixture of abandonment and accountability this piece is sensitive, bodies just fit together. An exciting mix of dance and partner acrobatics, this show stuns children, the elderly and everyone in between!

Whilst restrictions are being lifted for outdoor performances and installations we still want to keep everyone safe and avoid large, closely packed crowds.

  • This event will be a performance at fixed times on a raised stage. We will be laying out very limited audience seating and will put out indicators for groups to social distance. Our Stewards will be moving through the audience asking you to give each other plenty of space.

  • Staff will be wearing masks or visors and be regularly sanitizing their hands. We ask that you follow their instructions closely and, if asked, make space or give way for others.

  • We ask that nobody approach the stage too closely or any of our fenced off staff areas. We've carefully sanitised these for the protection of all and are keeping access as low as possible during the day.

  • We ask everyone to be patient and not clump up as they make their way on or off the square.

  • Whilst the event is in the open air we do still encourage people to wear face covers whilst watching the performance, especially during peak time when large numbers are likely to gather.

  • We ask that audiences respect social distancing guidelines and maintain at least 1m distance from fellow audience members outside their bubble or household. Please remember that it is not always clear who is most vulnerable.
