Cha Cha Chabelita

Saying hello and saying goodbye. Creating spaces where a farewell is not the end, but just one part of a cycle, spaces where death is the beginning of something, where everything fits if you pack well, where you laugh at funny things and not so funny things, spaces where everyone wins at the Olympic games. One, then two, then three, then five women perform in a hoop, and you get caught up in the performance. They claim, in a raw madness, the power to create and to destroy, to leave each other without pessimism and with lots of hope. All is not lost, even if we go round in circles. It is not the end, even if it is the end.

Gal Zdafee discovered circus arts in 2013 and plunged into them, thinking that she would never be a hoop artist. She graduated from the Académie Fratellini in June 2020. Aurora Dini has trained in rhythmic gymnastics since she was very young and has been doing so for 10 years. She graduated from the C.N.A.C. in 2019, just like Noémi Devaux, who encountered circus arts in the year 2000. Carla Manrique practiced Mexican folkloric dance at a very young age. She slowly slipped into circus arts and graduated in 2019 from ESAC. Gentiane Garin started circus arts at a very young age, in Savoie. She graduated from ESAC-TO Lido in 2019. Raphaël Fouilloux is a sound manager who graduated from ENSATT in 2020 and a saxophonist who graduated from the DMA in Nantes.
