Compagnie Philippe Saire - Hocus Pocus
Festivals and events Leisure activities Arts Music Indoor Downtown
Two horizontal neon lights float in the darkness, defining a mysterious, abstract frame where bodies, faces and props appear and disappear as if by magic. Abracadabra! We start to lose our bearings. Happy and playful, Lucas and Claus, two characters inspired by Agota Kristof’s Grand cahier, lose and find themselves again in a thousand and one adventures set to the dreamlike music of Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt. A contortionist’s escape from a spider’s web aboard a wacky flying machine, a tumble through the clouds, undersea voyages, encounters with fantastic aquatic creatures … Imagined by choreographer Philippe Saire, a pioneer of Swiss contemporary dance, this surreal universe astonishes and delights young and old alike.
