Cirqu’en Choc

Poetic shockwaves against stagnation

Movement to break apathy, poetry to awaken the world

The state of shock is that suspended moment when everything freezes, when the body hesitates between falling and jumping. Cirqu’en Choc chooses to respond to it with movement, poetry, and acrobatics.
Creating waves, shocks, vibrations—shaking up apathy, cracking open immobility.

For over sixteen years, the company has been exploring contemporary circus as a field of resistance and reinvention.

Between poetic gestures and visceral commitments, it turns the body into a tremor, a living act in the face of the world’s dumbfoundedness.
