People Watching has established itself as one of the leading companies of a new generation of circus artists. At the intersection of contemporary circus, dance and physical theatre, DOGMA offers a compelling experience where virtuosity meets raw emotion.
A true choreography of bodies in search of sensation, the performance sketches the many faces of life, from our instinctive drive towards autonomy to our need to exist as part of a community. In a human terrarium, a group of individuals see their convictions put to the test: a microcosm teetering on the edge of imbalance, where risk becomes the driving force behind a narrative that is both mythical and intimate.
Blending absurd humour, surrealism and dramatic intensity, acrobatics and physical performances intertwine with breathtaking precision. People Watching challenges the conventions of traditional circus, reinventing its forms and narratives while bringing us closer to the vulnerability of the human experience.
Founded in 2020, the Montréal-based collective made a splash with its first production, Play Dead, which received critical acclaim in Europe and North America. Following two years in residence at USINE C, the sextet returns with a new creation, the result of a dramaturgical approach that places the experience of being alive at the heart of the performance.
Live audio description will be provided by Stéphanie Fromentin and Emmalie Ruest.
