Presentation

At the crossroads of our languages and our disciplines, literature and acrobatics, in a space with only one chair to share between us, we’ll be both host and guest of each other, to embody and put into words the act of welcoming the Other. Or not. Or maybe. And how?

A graduate of the Centre national des arts du cirque, Victoria Belén has worked with Séverine Chavrier, Bachar Mar Khalifé, A. Rebetz, Tünde Deak, and Marc Lainé.
