About
F.M.R · Marina Cherry
Acrodance, sound, light · Solo 30-40 min · Ages 8+
What if our experience of the sensible became obsolete? In a world saturated with screens, digital flows, and optimization logic, we are gradually becoming dependent on systems that distance us from ourselves and what we truly feel. Through movement, sound, and light, F.M.R. explores the body and attempts to restore its full presence and authority, live, in front of an audience.
Sola · Aurora Dini
Aerial hoop, contortion · Solo · 30-40 min · Ages 8+
If the mind forgets, the body keeps track of everything that passes through it. The daughter of an anesthesiologist, Aurora explores the proximity between the gestures of the artist on stage and those of the surgeon in the operating room. Text, contortion, and aerial hoop mingle in a fragmented, intimate, and tragicomic composition. Sola is the performance-journal of a body that discovers itself to be a guardian of memories.

To eat: Food truck Thaï at home

Our take on this event
Trade your digital distractions for the raw energy of live performance as two bold circus artists reclaim the power of the human body. Whether through gravity-defying hoop work or evocative dance, this double-bill probes the limits of memory and perception with grace. You will leave feeling surprisingly grounded after witnessing such an intimate collision of movement and light.
L'Espace Périphérique and circusnext host a unique circus showcase on Friday, November 13, 2026. From 19:00 to 21:00, audiences aged 8 and up are invited to discover two solo performances exploring the intersection of body, memory, and technology. This event offers a free entry, making it an accessible way to engage with innovative contemporary circus works in the 19th arrondissement. Whether you are interested in acrodance or aerial hoop, this evening at La Villette promises a thought-provoking experience. A food truck will be available on-site to provide refreshments throughout the duration of the performances.
On November 13, 2026, the stage at L'Espace Périphérique at La Villette will host two distinct solo acts. Marina Cherry performs F.M.R., a piece that integrates acrodance with sound and light design to critique our detachment from physical reality in a digital-heavy world. Following this, Aurora Dini presents Sola, an intimate performance featuring aerial hoop and contortion, which draws parallels between artistic stage gestures and the precision of surgical procedures to examine how bodies retain memories.
The event runs from 19:00 to 21:00, with each performance lasting approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Admission is free for all attendees aged 8 and older, ensuring the showcase remains open to a wide audience.
Beyond the artistic program, Clown sans frontières will host an information booth. For those looking for a bite to eat, the Thaï at home food truck will be parked on-site to serve food during the event.
