About
Théâtre Silvia Monfort presents La Chute des Anges, a captivating circus performance directed by Raphaëlle Boitel that explores the human struggle for elevation within a constrained world. Suitable for audiences aged 8 and up, this production blends dance, theater, and aerial acrobatics to portray fallen angels caught between gravity and the desire to fly. With tickets ranging from 5€ to 28€, the show runs from March 3 to March 21, 2027. It offers a unique, cinematically staged experience where delicate bodies perform in an intense, shadowy environment, balancing burlesque elements with deep, moving poetry.
What would become of our world if even the angels could no longer fly? By imagining this troubling future, the director illuminates our present. In an inhabited twilight, an almost unreal light emerges and reveals suspended bodies, engaged in aerial writing of great intensity.
Figures in imbalance, silhouettes in search of elevation, hairy coats hanging from the rafters, angels fallen from the sky: everyone wavers, between falling and aspiration. The tone, subtly tragicomic, is part of a singular cinematic aesthetic. Between shadow and poetry, a fragile humanity tries to extract itself from a constrained world. Circus, dance, and theater intertwine with remarkable mastery.
