Spectacle "L'homme canon"
Minimalist circus: "L'homme canon" performance, presented by the MJC of Rodez - Théâtre des 2 Points, Tuesday, April 27, 2027, at 8:30 p.m.
By the Des Clous Association
Originally, the “human cannonball” was a carnival attraction that involved launching a man, fully clad in boots and a helmet, from a rather special cannon.
He is the projectile, and he throws his full weight behind it to trace his heroic arc. Somewhere, it sings, and he soars.
Both, fully aware of the poetic and kamikaze nature of the act, burn out and then evaporate.
In *The Human Cannon*, it is a matter of ultimate vertigo—Intoxication in Sobriety and Jubilation in Restraint.
%AB Among the pioneers of minimalist circus, tightrope walker R%E9mi Luchez masters a discipline with infinite symbolism. Alongside soloist Lola Calvet, he achieves a new level of perfection in economy—both in movement and props—to better extract the very essence of the performance %BB Th%E9%E2tre(s) Magazine
