fABULEUS & THERE THERE Company - Oui Non Attention

‘Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity,’ the French philosopher and activist Simone Weil once said.

In an era where our attention is constantly fragmented by endless stimuli and distractions, we wonder what happens when we consciously focus on the other, on our body, and on our surroundings. Based on this idea, young acrobats set to work with the artistic and physical circus language of THERE THERE Company. Partner acrobatics requires a special way of paying attention to the small physical signals that help assess balance and strength. Oui. Non. Attention. approaches attention as an act of responsibility and a means of connection.
