âIncredible and total masteryâ. LâExpressLâImmédiat is here and now.
On a stage crammed with machinery, objects, junk and bric a brac of every kind, LâImmédiat is Camille Boitelâs tumultuous, visual commentary on the uncertainty and mayhem of modern times.
In sixty minutes of beautifully orchestrated circus-theatre chaos, seven young acrobat-adventurers defy a tsunami of unstable forces that threatens to engulf them, with optimism, dark humour and breathtaking physical skills.
Camille Boitel trained at Annie Fratelliniâs circus school in Paris. In 2002 he was a winner at the first Jeunes Talents Cirque, Europeâs most prestigious new circus awards.
He was an original member of James Thiérréeâs Junebug Symphony Company and made his debut at the Mime Festival with a remarkable solo, LâHomme dâHus in 2005.
Created in 2007, LâImmédiat has toured throughout Europe and was awarded the Prix Mimos in 2010.Age guidance 8+
