Damoclès

Faced with a collective perception of danger, audience members must confront a potential obstacle—together—in this participatory performance. Can we trust one another and decide on a common course of action to solve a problem? Can we all be the leader of the group? Damoclès, from France’s Cirque Inextremiste, is a show where the audience are the actors—and maybe the heroes!

Performed by Yann Ecauvre

Cirque Inextremiste, created in 2009, blends dance, circus, street arts and music. The first show “Inextremiste” was created by this dangerous, extreme and defiant circus troupe in 2007, using a trampoline and gas cylinders. In 2017 the troupe worked on two major projects street shows: a spectacular musical concert (Extreme Night Fever) and a hot air balloon air show (Exit). In 2024, Cirque inextremiste, directed by Yann Ecauvre, presents 8 shows and has around fifty members. With their wacky humour and “real risk” mantra, they are constantly pushing back the boundaries of the extreme and have been travelling around theatres and festivals across Europe for ten years.
