For several years now, the company Le Doux Supplice has been exploring the connections between acrobatic lifts and dance, in an approach that always makes room for the audience. With *Les Petites Épopées…*, the artists take to the streets, transforming a 25-meter-long stretch of asphalt into the setting for a true contemporary epic. Surrounded by the audience, seated on either side of this raw strip of asphalt, they face the unexpected, the spontaneous, the real. With almost nothing but collective intelligence, they dream big and will do everything to ensure that everyone is swept up in a moving, exhilarating dance! Let your hair fly in the wind—let yourself be carried away!
