The first in a trio of Festival solo shows by brilliant young French circus-inspired artists features 24 year old acrobat and hand-balancing virtuoso, Jean-Baptiste André. Set sometime in the dead of night, Intérieur Nuit brings together video, circus skills and a gripping electronic sound-score to create a ‘horiz-vertical’ universe, an unexpected landscape full of surprises and original vision.
Trained at the École Nationale des Arts de Cirque in Chalons, Jean-Baptiste is also a member of Philippe Decouflé's internationally acclaimed dance company. This debut show has toured extensively in Europe and the Middle East, and goes to America later in 2005.

'A beautiful work which creates a landscape lush with possibilities for metamorphosis. He makes us question the relationship of space and time, interior and exterior, real and imagined'.

‘They laughed. They cried. In the end, the audience left simply astonished.’
