Ghost Light: Between Fall and Flight

Machine de Cirque

Hydro-Quebec Auditorium

Without distancing
Wearing a procedure mask all times

The curtain has fallen. The theatre has been plunged into darkness. One lone light is left on: the ghost light. It’s to attract the ghosts that linger there. Rediscovering the energy of their past life, they propel each other around, push each other away, have fun with each other, hurt each other, and, finally, embrace each other again.

What People Are Saying...

"These two artists have worked together for 12 years. They have done extraordinary things in their discipline and shown remarkable tenacity."

Journal de Québec, October 15, 2020

"[...] they’ve created a personal work in which light challenges the darkness. A disarming virtuosity has served their story as acrobats."

Les trois coups, October 23, 2020

[...] une scénographie très épurée pour mettre de l’avant la planche coréenne et un spectacle dansé, tantôt ludique, tantôt dramatique.

Québec Hebdo, 2020
