What happens when the ground deserts us, and we begin to fall upwards into the boundless, infinite emptiness? With its mix of physical theatre, acrobatics, pantomime and performance art, French ensemble L’immédiat explores this unimaginable question in La lévitation réelle (real levitation). “The performing space is public space, so passersby will ultimately become an audience through the sheer act of witnessing the performance,” says director and choreographer Camille Boitel. While these people are going about their day, they become witness to weightlessness, dizzying strangeness and disorientation. In their 20+ years of performing, L’immédiat has toured widely, appearing in theatres and in public spaces. La lévitation réelle will be performed around the park throughout the festival.
