The Piece

Gravity is more than just a physical law—it is a myth, a limit we defy every day. In Terre 1, it becomes the playground for a performance where dance and visual art intertwine to question our relationship with the ground, failure, and verticality. On stage, Thibaut Eiferman embodies an athlete of exhaustion. His movements—repetitive and precise—oscillate between struggle and surrender, as if each fall offers a new way to stand upright. Around him, three monumental canvases by Alice Vasseur trace the stages of a life, serving as both set and dance partner. The collaboration between the two artists creates a fresh language, blending physical performance with poetic reflection. Learn more about the artist

A Word from the Production

Between three suspended canvases, a dancer defies both gravity and societal expectations. He tries, fails, rises again and explores every possible path. A joyful and visually striking performance, where the fall transforms into an act of resistance and play.
