Pianist and composer Alexandra Stréliski accompanies the artists of Cirque Le Roux on stage for this dazzling show, featuring a musical score of her own works and other equally captivating pieces. Presented exclusively at Place des Arts, this unique version of Entre chiens et louves promises to be a memorable experience.
Entre chiens et louves (Between Dogs and Wolves) immerses the audience in a historical epic that reveals the intimacy of three characters living in different eras: 1850, 1960, and 2026. Tracing their journeys, the piece is a staggering excursion through time, taking us right up to the present day, evoking the collective memories that make us who we are—filled with revolt and emancipation—but which still divide us today.
A true testament to the human condition, the piece depicts a world full of hope, of bodies in motion, offering a glimpse of the forgotten who are just waiting to be reborn. Conceived much like a film in which the scenes unfold, the piece gives free rein to eight virtuosos who draw us into an epic adventure blending comedy, spectacular acrobatics, and dance with an impetus that is profoundly human and supportive.
