LE PROJET / IGNIS presents a new aesthetic of fire, one that is no longer grandiose and spectacular, but minuscule and metaphorical. This solo performance explores the contrasts caused by flames. This fiery aesthetic draws on the poetics of archaism, nostalgia and ritual ceremonies to create an intimate bond with the audience.

 

BIO / Nicolas Fraiseau is Franco-Italian artist specialized in Chinese pole who graduated from CNAC in 2016. Since 2014, he has been working as a performer with various French companies. He joined Compagnie Les Hommes Penchés in 2018 to create his first solo Instable in collaboration with Christophe Huysman. 

He is a recipient of the grant «Aide à l’écriture cirque SACD-Beaumarchais» for Instable and of the European exchange and research program in circus arts Circus Without Circus in 2021.  

Nicolas is interested in clowning, practices slam and has developed a strong taste for improvisation and risk-taking. Since 2020, he collaborates with Collectif Sismique to bring his creations to the stage.
