'Constantly inventive, mesmeric and delightful acrobatic theatre'.
Telerama
This acrobatic battle of wits is the latest winner of Jeunes Talents Cirque - the annual competition to find Europe’s best young circus artists – to feature at LIMF. Following, among others, Camille Boitel (LIMF05) Ockham’s Razor (LIMF08) and last year Collectif Petit Travers and Compagnie Un Loup Pour L’Homme, Jonathan Guichard and Fnico Feldmann were winners of the 2008 Award with this impressive exhibition of equilibrist skills.
Using little more than a few wooden benches, some rope and a fine understanding of mechanics, these two inventive artists draw us into their warm-hearted power struggle.
Ieto is directed by top French circus-theatre creator, Christian Coumin.
Presented in association with Southbank Centre
