Galapiat Cirque: Risque ZérO
Kisharsány – Football pitch
Four performances and workshops
Galapiat is a word that means a rascal, a hobo, a scallywag in old French.
The six artists of the troupe have attended the french National School of Circus Arts (Ecole Nationale des Arts du Cirque) in Rosny-Sous-Bois and then the National Center of Circus Arts (Centre National des Arts du Cirque-CNAC) in Châlons-en-Champagne from which they graduated in 2006 and 2007.
In 2008, the newly created troupe set up their first collective production Risque ZérO. During a year, they performed in theaters, in the street and in big tops. They soon felt the necessity of touring in their own big top. That is when they decided to take the plunge and buy one. In March 2010 after having toured for a year and a half, a variety of experiences and with the return of Gilles Cailleau (director of Attention Fragile) who infused a new life into the show, they prepared a new version adapted to the big top.
Using their show and its accompanying universe, Galapiat invites local inhabitants and spectators to enter the big top and discover their circus. They share experiences in a place open to local organizations and various artistic initiatives.
Risque ZérO is a circus show that displays super heroes and a world that borrows from the children’s universe, their games and relationships. A real world in which cousins get together to play in the attic, slowly transform themselves, leave reality to plunge into a strange dream, an epic tale.
