Cie 126 kilos et Cie Toi d’abord – Quatuor

(Lyon-France)

There is one who is free and wild, another who is mist, one who has the power of the sky, and a whimsical one who hesitates.
There is one who is about to leave, and one who is already too far..
There is the one who embodies doubt, and another who knows.
There is the one trying to hold the frame together, yet who constantly overflows it.

They are more than what they own, because they do not have much — except for the powerful desire to make you laugh: loudly or softly, wholeheartedly and at the top of your lungs, subtly or crudely…

The circus duo of Cie Toi d’abord and the duo from Les 126 kilos have embarked on writing a clown quartet. What brings all four of them together is… the duo..

The strength and joy they have found within their respective partnerships for over 10 years bring them together today to multiply the possibilities.

126 Kilos Company: Trained at the Lyon Circus School and later at the CRAC of Lomme, Gwen and Vincent, an acrobatic hand-to-hand duo, first collaborated with the Prise de Pied Company on Thé Perché before co-founding the LAPSUS Company, where they created Six Pieds Sur Terre and Boutelis. At the same time, they established the 126 Kilos Company and have been touring Banc de sable since 2015.
Toi d’abord Company: Having met in 2006 at the Lyon Circus School, Jérémy and Thomas founded the Toi d’abord Company in Toulouse. For more than ten years, they have toured throughout France and internationally with their productions. With a strong focus on clowning, they joined the 126 Kilos Company in 2019 for the creation of a quartet production.
