a show Galapiat Cirque / Sébastien Wojdan - création janvier 2013
circus solo - 1:15 hour - from 6 years +
Marathon is a circus solo, a challenge that consists in performing alone in the ring. Running as a metaphor nurtures a need for solitude through extreme physical activity and repetitive action. The tenacity of a man to overcome an exhausted body pushed to its utmost limits.
Body temperature rises, the heart beat accelerates, hands start shaking. Panting for breath, fear and distress become manifest.
By dwelling on our childish heroic enthusiasms, Marathon puts to the test the mutation of our dreams.
With the rage of a boxer and the stamina of a long-distance runner, Sébastien Wojdan embarks the spectator on the razor’s edge, in a show of drawn daggers. Marathon, the aptly named, superb universe of punk poetry distilled in a Circus ambiance.
