CIE BAL: Fil Fil

Children and adults, three acrobats are waiting for you!

Take a seat around them and experience a gentle yet powerful moment—from the perspective of those “only three apples tall.” In a circular setting and in close proximity to the audience, two acrobats and a tightrope walker play with simple objects, transforming them into adventurous, absurd, surprising, and playful situations.

Together with author and director Jeanne Mordoj, the artists drew inspiration from observing children aged 3 to 6—their movements, but also their mischievous spirit, freedom, and witty, slightly rebellious view of the world. From this research emerge imaginative scenes: the tightrope begins to “waltz,” T-shirts are exchanged and transformed into unusual creatures, and play and imagination continuously expand and evolve.

After the performance (19:00–20:30), join us for a family workshop!

An acrobatics workshop with Julia, Hichem, and Aloïs, artists from the performance FIL-FIL, is designed for children, young people, and their parents, guardians, and caregivers.
Through play and shared exploration of movement, participants will try simple acrobatic balances and basic wire techniques. A special focus is placed on imagination and collective play—using a large T-shirt from the performance, participants will create unusual bodies, playful characters, strange animals, and fantastic creatures.

The workshop encourages trust, cooperation, and free expression through movement, offering a fun and creative experience for all generations.
