Ceci n'est pas un exercice - Dies ist keine Übung

We are many people in this hall...

Wailing sirens, crowds, chaos.

Who are these creatures with their helmets and pillow armours?

They ask us: ‘Aren't you scared?’

We think: ‘No’, but maybe we should be.

Ceci n'est pas un exercice is a spectacular collective challenge that allows the audience to grow beyond their role as mere spectators. Acrobatics, juggling, live music, theatre and playful lightness come together. This vibrant contemporary circus show gathers people of all ages in large empty halls.

The increase in global challenges and growing fear-alarmism has arisen the urge to motivate a dialogue and break with the sense of inertia that the world seems to impose on us. This show aims to give back conviviality to public spaces, break the ice, invite a smile and address words to the unknown.
