The fantastic Cirque Inextremiste team and its 3400 m3 aerostat immerse the public, body and soul, in an unusual scenographic universe. In EXIT, a group of sweet lunatics find themselves trapped in spite of themselves in a life-size epic. Their mission: to free themselves from their straitjackets and escape at all costs from this world governed by strict and implacable rules. The play area, transformed by the flight of the hot air balloon, is an open-air theatre where the artists’ aerial waterfalls coexist with the stars. Crescendo towards freedom, Exit offers an emancipation of the mind, a powerful, luminous and unifying artistic breath, a demonstration of the porosity of the border between art and madness. Welcome to this new EXIT adventure!
Yann Ecauvre, with an unusual and self-taught background, staged his first show in 2007, entitled “Inextremiste,” featuring a trampoline and gas cylinders. In 2009, the company took the name Cirque Inextremiste. The trio “Extrêmités” was created in 2012, using planks and… gas cylinders as apparatus! Following the same wild dynamic around a mini construction excavator, the second installment, “Extension,” was launched in 2014.Between 2015 and 2017, the Cirque Inextremiste team expanded to create two new shows: a spectacular ball, “Extreme Night Fever,” and a large-scale street show centered around… a hot air balloon, “Exit.” In 2018, Yann presented a new balancing act entitled “Damoclès”. This participatory performance explores the trust we place in each other when faced with challenges. The company is currently working on a new creation: G.A.P.
