L'Ombre Orchestre - the Shadow Orchestra - Xavier Mortimer

The curtains rise, a lone musician on the stage, a lunar character, begins a tune on the accordion. Everything then turns surreal when his shadow starts to multiply to form a band. Instruments fly around, the partitions become incontrollable…. We abandon reality in favor of a dream. Surprised or overwhelmed by all that is going on, the artist carries us into a state of sweet stupor. A show full of visual surprises and rich in inventiveness, a powerful moment of laughter and poetry.

Xavier Mortimer shares with us a truly beautiful performance between laughter and emotion
PARISCOPE

The surprises are never ending and the audience lets itself be carried away, in large part thanks to the charm and candor of the performer and to his mastery of his craft
LE PARISIEN

One of these truly attractive performances, strangely melancholic which, with a charming smile, reveals a certain sophistication.

THE HERALD TRIBUNE

Pierre Xamin

The art of changing of faces, bian lian in Chinese, where the Sichuan Opera actors magically change their colourful masques is considered one of the most mysterious and beautiful of ancient Chinese performing arts. Pierre Xamin introduced the traditional Chinese art in our part of the world and he is probably the only European mastering this ancient Chinese Art.  

Kenris & Aurelia

The curtain of stars is falling, this is the opening of the ball.
The candles of the night are burning, when the body comes to life.

The red rose on his rod bent, this is the tango of vertigo.
He sets his footsteps, and only love will triumph.
