Low Cost Paradise
Cirque Pardi! (FR)
Any resemblance to reality is certainly not a coincidence’
Welcome to the paradise of the forgotten!
Step inside this colorful nirvana of madness. An absurd ode to ordinary life, with all its humor and tragedy.
In a big circus tent with round stands and live music, acrobats, dancers and musicians set everything in motion. Your laughing muscles certainly do too! Colorful figures fly through the air. They balance on bicycles, mingle in parties and conjure or fire confetti cannons. Screams, laughter and howls. You imagine yourself on an ever-changing movie set.
Cirque Pardi! presents a contemporary circus performance; a tribute to confusion. Armed with beauty and screaming for justice, Low Cost Paradise addresses the poetry of reality and the need for fiction.
In true Valhalla, there is no room for imperfection. Therefore, circus troupe Pardi! builds its own utopia where the logic of madness and the beauty of ugliness is celebrated.
It’s tragic, it’s comical, it’s absurd … just like life.
