Il n'est pas encore minuit
With a festive atmosphere of freedom and resistance, 'Il N'est Pas Encore Minuit...' is a bubbling cauldron of individual wishes and desires, but in this case, it is more about the notion of the paths we take collectively than the shaping of an idea. Outside acrobatic work, a dance called the Lindy Hop was the point of convergence between individuals and generations. This dance, which grew out of 1920s Harlem and has a swing-like energy, constitutes an incredible playground which, in contrast to acrobatics, allows us to 'let go' and affirm our own uniqueness. And although it may not be the point of the show, its intentions are implicit: the affirmation of the collective and the listening to and understanding of the body as a joyful and poetic act of resistance. Our musical composition follows this theme with the aim of provoking movement as well as immobility; contrasting the energy of a rolling jazz made up of scraps of different things with the melancholy of the cello. The rhythmics will be in tune with the acrobatic figures and their breathing.

Compagnie XY
Artistic direction: Abdeliazide Senhadji et Mahmoud Louertani
Creation: 2004
For 17 years, Cie XY has been investigating and exploring the language of acrobatics through the practice of lifts. While relying on the fundamentals of this circus technique, this collective of artistes keep playing with the codes, rhythms and forms of acrobatics to put them back at the very heart of the artistic gesture.
Since then, the company has chosen to work in large numbers in order to multiply possibilities and to enlarge its field of research. This choice also reflects an artistic approach that aims to question the concepts of mass, of the “audience” and their interactions in the same space-time. Beyond that, it remains a matter of questioning the relationship of an individual to a group or within a given social setting.
Through this approach, Cie XY has also chosen to be a true collective, sharing the expertise and ideas of each individual and by adopting a collegial creative process. This constant desire to be part of a process of transmission and sharing in a non-hierarchical framework, has a strong impact on daily work and becomes a direct component of the artistic forms that are produced. In this spirit, the team has chosen to turn towards the public through the collective creation of large-scale forms for the theatre, public spaces or any places that allow frontal or circular performances.
