Sur la route
When Oedipus takes to the road, it is to attempt, after the tragedy, to pick up the threads of his life differently, to restore the balance that has been broken. The limpid, rebellious and illuminating Antigone is a necessary part of this journey. One that they will understand they can only undertake together. Sur la route… is a dialogue of bodies between a wounded man and a woman walking a tightrope. The duo they create is a choreography of balance. It is also for Antoine Rigot, a tightrope walker and victim of an accident in May 2000, a new step in the re-invention of his art. In this approach, Sur la route… talks to us of the tightrope in an infinitely personal manner, which goes far beyond an exercise in virtuosity.
Les Colporteurs
In 1996, Agathe and Antoine, during the exploitation of Amore Captus, founded the company Les Colporteurs. With their accomplices at that time, they organised the construction of the big top they had always dreamt of and created their first show, Filao, inspired by Italo Calvino’s novel Il Barone Ramante (The Baron in the Trees). This show, which combines circus, theatre, dance and music, was performed 220 times between 1997 and 2000 in France and abroad. In 1999, the team of Les Colporteurs joined up with that of Les Nouveaux Nez to imagine, in the Ardèche region of France, what was to become La Cascade, Pôle National des Arts du Cirque (National Centre of Circus Arts), which opened its doors in Bourg-Saint-Andéol in April 2008.
In May 2000, Antoine was the victim of a serious accident that prevented him from continuing to tightrope dance. However, he resumed his work as an actor and a musician and began to stage performances.
