French circus act for Durban
Alliance Française presents Cirquons Flex Company at the Courtyard Theatre.
A CONTEMPORARY circus show for the whole family descends on Durban this Sunday, when the fabulous French Reunion Cirquons Flex Company performs for one night only at the Courtyard Theatre.
The Reunionese Company comprises of Virginie Le Flaouter who trained at the National Circus School of Montreal, and Vincent Maillot, a self-taught artist. The uber-talented duo will be sharing a whimsical story, Points De Suspension, a beautiful encounter with love and imagination. Points De Suspension is a combination of aerial acrobats, a Roue-Cyr wheel and ground artistry.
The production is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and it is brought to Durban by the Alliance Française de Durban, in partnership with the Durban University of Technology and the French Institute in South Africa (IFAS).
Vincent Frontczyk, Director for Alliance Française de Durban said: “This event will be the official opening of the new partnership and hopefully the first of many performance projects to follow at the Courtyard Theatre. This event is important for the Drama Department as well as DUT. We sincerely hope our partnership will be treasured and grow, leading to more wonderful projects such as Cirquons Flex.”
This is the second time in recent years that Durban will get to witness an utterly superb French act, having been dazzled by the aerial brilliance of the Les Studios de Cirque troupe three years ago around the City Hall.
