Get ready for an exceptional evening with _The Award_, the explosive new creation from the Back Pocket company. Nine virtuoso acrobats reinvent the award gala in a show that is as spectacular as it is irresistibly ironic.
In this large-scale circus format, Back Pocket has fun decoding the golden rituals of ceremonies: feigned applause, polite smiles and stifled rivalries. Behind the elegance of show business lies a world of ambition, ego and pretense. The artists, masters in the art of translating emotions through movement, reveal through their physical prowess what words keep silent. With their wry humor and sense of humour, they had already won over the audience at the Molières 2024 with a dazzling performance.
The staging skilfully plays with the codes of televised entertainment: between on-air and off-air moments, backstage reveals and blinding spotlights, the spectator becomes an integral part of this zany and fascinating ceremony. Guided by a witty master of ceremonies, everyone is invited to immerse themselves in this acrobatic satire of the world of fame and awards.
the Award_ is a funny and incisive reflection on our media-driven society and its cult of success. Combining technical virtuosity, devastating humor and critical acumen, the company offers a resolutely modern circus experience that is as delightful as it is hard-hitting.
