Flaque is a delicious blend of juggling, dance and physical theatre, mixed with slapstick humour. The performers’ relaxed yet precise movements are reminiscent of cartoons and audiences will be left wondering whether it is the ball that controls the performer or vice versa. Defracto wittily illustrate their passion for juggling, treating it as a rhythmic and graphic discipline that flirts with dance and absurd humour. One thing is for certain, however, in this show, the humans get dropped a lot more than the balls. This is juggling as it should be: challenging, fresh, raw and full of finesse. The piece is performed by David Maillard, Èric Longequel and Guillaune Martinet.
