Quand la danse ne tient qu'à un fil
5min40, music by Tribal Jâze
Combining dance and tightwire with grace and agility, « Quand la danse ne tient qu’à un fil » is a lively and rhythmic act, with captivating folkloric accents.
Introduction
It is thin, elegant and absolutely fascinating.
Doing tightwire means constantly trying to keep your balance not only on the wire, but between being light yet grounded, and between having control and yet letting go. It is the closest thing to imitating the grace of birds whislt keeping your feet on the ground. For me, who dreams to have wings, it is the perfect speciality!
During act creation, I am inspired by things that touch my heart, make me smile or dream. I like to play with music and rythm to share stories rich in love and emotion, which I tell through dancing on the wire .

Act in creation process
Sur le fil du souvenir
6/7min act, music by James Howard, arrangement by Bruno Cassal
It is one story for many stories. It is our struggle, and quite often our failure, to remember as time goes by.
It’s an act that blends together joy and sorrow, doubt and hope, moments of grace and of fear.
On the wire, discover a story told with as much gentleness as boldness.
Technical requirements
According to space requirement, the acts can be performed on a regular wire or on a free-standing wire (subject to availability).
A tightwire act requires:

For a regular tightwire:
- The possibility to install two anchor points able to support 2200Kg each,
- A minimal distance of 9m20 between these two ground points,
- A minimal clearance of 2m in width,

For a free-standing wire:
- A minimal lenght of 7m,

Those specifications provide a general idea. It is possible to adapt the wire to different environment, either inside or outside. Please contact me if you need any additional information.
