RIZOMA

ACROBATIC TEAM

It is an acrobatic collective that confirms that contemporary circus arts are all-encompassing. Each discipline is represented: acrobatics, balancing, juggling, comedy, hand to hand, handstands, straps, cyr wheel, Chinese pole, aerial hoop… The Rizoma collective is one of the features that make TILT unique.

TILT, 90 minutes of real emotions

One does not have to close one's eyes to imagine experiencing an incredible adventure. The TILT show is pure reality and will be a fantastic surprise, a true, unforgettable and unique experience.

TILT is the revelatory show that was applauded on its debut and in just six weeks by more than 20,000 viewers of all ages, which has been praised enthusiastically by critics.

An international cast of 30 artists from the Nouveau Cirque and Cirque du Soleil. Aerial and ground numbers that enchant and take your breath away. The excellence of contemporary circus arts combining music, dance and theatre.

Experience new true emotions while admiring spectacular solo and choral performances that exalt Friendship, Alliances, Truth, Love. Believing in oneself and one's abilities, because, to quote the film: "However painful reality might be at times, it remains the only place to eat a decent meal". To be our true selves, because in the end only reality matters.
