On the ground and in the air, the acrobats of The Fall of Angels move within a cinematic and tragicomic atmosphere, reclaiming their freedom. Before her production of the opera Ercole amante , due to open in May, Raphaëlle Boitel unveils here one of the shows that launched her career.

Black costumes against a black backdrop, a stage plunged into darkness barely illuminated by shafts of white light: it is in this unsettling atmosphere that the fallen angels of the company L'Oublié(e) move. Blending circus, dance, and theater, The Fall of Angels opens a dystopian space, an uncertain future where machines have seized power, depriving humans of their freedom of movement and judgment. It is a rebirth that the seven acrobats of the piece soon embody, in a virtuoso and liberating physical language, unfolding on the ground, on the apparatus, or on the Chinese pole. By thwarting the traps of conformity and passivity, by choosing free will, love, and the beauty of letting go, they find the strength to change things. In this chimerical future, as in our chaotic present, nothing is irrevocable.
