What could possibly go wrong?
The stage is set. A simple curtain stands centre stage, and two circus artists emerge, ready to perform their perfectly rehearsed routine. But as they attempt their first lift, a terrible doubt creeps in. Is this the right move? Is this what we practiced?
Determined to keep going, the disoriented duo invents new tricks, tumbles into unexpected situations, and yet somehow manages to bounce back every time. Packed with acrobatic brilliance, physical comedy, and humour inspired by silent cinema, By Trial and Error is a hilarious and heart-warming adventure about the fear of failure, the joy of trying, and finding a way forward when things don’t go quite as planned. Watch the video below.
Presented in partnership with Carousel Players Niagara Children’s Festival and Ottawa Children’s Festival.
Entre le zist et le geste est un spectacle de portés acrobatiques bourré d’humour emprunté au cinéma muet. C’est une création pour deux artistes désorientés, s’adressant à tous les publics.
Les deux circassiens entrent en piste, ils viennent faire leur numéro de portés acrobatiques, mais un doute s’invite dans leur enchaînement bien huilé entraînant alors une succession de malentendus.
Ce dernier se transforme alors en un spectacle loufoque.
Pris par la nécessité de le continuer, le duo se prend au jeu, invente, dérive… Tantôt perdu, tantôt opportuniste mais toujours rebondissant.
