Sway Love

Through sway poles, we tell a love story.

Love is the force that moves the world and gives rise to the most beautiful and surprising stories. So it is for the two protagonists of this circus performance, who meet by chance in a distant town. He is a young local man; she is a curious and fascinating traveller. A spark ignites between them, beginning a game of seduction, glances and words, approaches and retreats. They discover that they are different yet attracted to one another; they challenge and seek each other, they love and leave one another. Their relationship is a rollercoaster of emotions, carrying them through moments of happiness and pain, intimacy and conflict, passion and jealousy.

To tell this troubled love story, the performers use sway poles, flexible poles that allow them to swing and rotate through the air. Through their acrobatic movements, they create evocative and dynamic images that express the conflicting emotions of the two lovers. Sway poles are an innovation in the world of circus, offering new expressive and theatrical possibilities. They are the perfect instrument to represent love: always in motion, changing and transforming, defying gravity.

This circus performance draws the audience into a universal love story that speaks to every heart. It aims to move them, make them smile and dream. It invites them to reflect on what it means to love and be loved, and on the importance of finding balance between giving and receiving, freedom and loyalty. It invites them to fall in love with life.
