Möbius in May

In no event shall the Funder have any liability of any kind to any person or entity arising from or related to any actions taken or not taken as a result of any of the contents herein.

Möbius in May is an exploration of the outer confines of acrobatics, inspired by the phenomenon of murmuration. In nature, this 'choreography' of hundreds of starlings in flight is so well-timed and so dense that it sometimes eclipses the sun – even if just for an instant.

Möbius in May is an extract from Möbius—the fifth creative production from the French contemporary circus company, Compagnie XY.

Biography

Compagnie XY

For 17 years, Compagnie XY has been investigating and exploring the language of acrobatics through the practice of lifts. While relying on the fundamentals of this circus technique, this collective of artists uses play to put the codes, rhythms, and forms of acrobatics back into the very heart of the artistic gesture.

To multiply creative possibilities and enlarge its field of research, the company works in large numbers. This choice reflects the company's aim to question the concepts of 'mass', 'audience', and their interactions in the same time and space. It also questions the relationship of an individual to a group or within a given social setting.

Through this approach, Compagnie XY has chosen to be a true collective, sharing the expertise and ideas of each individual by adopting a collegial creative process. This constant desire to be part of a process of transmission and sharing in a non-hierarchical framework strongly impacts daily work and is a direct component of the artistic forms produced. In this spirit, the team has chosen to turn towards the public through the collective creation of large-scale forms for theatres, public spaces or any places that allow frontal or circular performances.
