Imagine, set against the backdrop of the stage, a tidy little house inhabited by a slightly awkward juggler.
Faced with a constantly disrupted daily life, she adapts to the seriousness of the times with humour and panache.
She makes her way, hanging on in this altered, windy, wobbly world, without realising that her habits are part of the cause of the upheaval.
And even if, one day, everything were to blow away, she would make do, and continue to make objects dance.
But what will she do if even gravity is disrupted?

With lightness and humour, this show raises the issue of the climate crisis we are going through, not by imposing a solution, but rather by seeking to unite us around the same observation.

Juggling to represent everyday life,
Magic to reveal the vertigo of the world,
Humour to survive in between
