"Dark Circus"
Based on an original story by Pef
Created and performed by STEREOPTIK (Romain Bermond, Jean-Baptiste Maillet)
"Dark Circus"
“Come one, come all, be unhappy!”
The grip of the trapeze artist slips mid-air, the beast tamer is pursued by fierce beasts .... This dangerous circus group is full of black humor and low-tech, family- friendly live art performance.

Artist Profile
Created in 2008 at the same time as the eponymous show, STEREOPTIK brings together Romain Bermond and Jean-Baptiste Maillet, both visual artists and musicians. Based on a score they build and write together, every one of their shows is built under the eyes of its audience, live. Theatre of shadows, of objects and puppets, silent films, unplugged or electronic concerts, fairy tales and cartoons are so many fields and genres whose boundaries STEREOPTIK likes to play with. At the heart of the many forms of art that appear on the stage is one principle: to show the audience the technical process that leads to the apparition of characters, of scenes, of a story. The audience is free to let themselves be carried away by the images and stories projected onto the screen, or to see in detail what leads to the movement of the cartoon on the screen, how ink creates a silhouette on a transparent background, what instrument is used to bring it to life. Visual, musical, and without text, STEREOPTIK’s creations arouse curiosity and wonder in audiences of all ages and all nationalities.
