Bal(les)

Compagnie Zalataï

In Bal(les), two true masters find one another through balls, ropes, risk and trust. Alexander Koblikov is one of the world’s finest jugglers. Charlotte de la Bretèque moves through her own universe of multicords: a towering curtain of ropes in which body and line are silhouetted against the sky.

Alexander begins on the ground, with Charlotte high above him. He juggles, she floats. He catches, she falls. She challenges, he responds. Slowly, their worlds become intertwined, forming a beautiful duet about collaboration, trust and love. In thirty minutes, not a single movement is superfluous and not a second is wasted. The love that develops between them effortlessly reaches the audience too.
