Carné(t) by Elsa Caillat

ensaio de circo | 13 December 25

The reverse of the body or the search for a circus artist on the way

CARNÉ(T) is a circus performance born after a writing residency at Tracteur (cultural space in Cintegabelle 31) in February 2022 and an artistic encounter with the feminist collective “PFFF!” during an experimentation laboratory in September 2022 at Grainerie (Balma 31).


CARNÉ(T) is an intimate dive into the universe of a 40-year-old circus artist at a crossroads. A state of situation.

CARNÉ(T) is a report.

CARNE(T) is the sharing of doubts, questions, fears.

CARNÉ(T) is what remains of the circus when the body refuses to continue.

CARNÉ(T), circus statue, agitated thoughts.

CARNE(T) is the urgency of questioning our relationship with the body. When is it an ally? And how to act when he protests?

CARNÉ(T), finally, is a pressing desire to continue to belong to the world of the circus, shaking the codes and imagining that another mode of representation is possible. Change perspective. Imagine possibilities. Share with you a hope of eternity.
