Aerial straps at the Opéra Bastille with the Electric Circus

There are phone calls that one prefers to forget, others that one will never forget, because magic: « Quentin, are you available the day after tomorrow to play a number of Aerial Straps At the Opéra Bastille? ».

That's how I ended up two days later with the great team of the Circus Electric to play the show FANFARE on the majestic décor of the Swan Lakein the prestigious Opera Bastille.

As part of a Christmas show for all employees of the Opéra Bastille, Cirque Électrique was invited. To meet the demand, a delusional Circassian program composed of a fanfaronic orchestra, joyous and seriously funny clows, acrobaties on the ground and in the air, juggle and hula hoop, glitter, confeties and fire (!), bombs and popcorn on demand! Just to ignite the Opera audience who was at the meeting to fly with us on a fantastic star track.

Arriving that very morning, we had only a few hours to install our equipment, test it, make the light, dispatch technical tasks, etc.
Barely the time to settle everything, that in the wake of the huge curtain of the Opera rose, and we launched the show, in sparkling energy.

For my part, over and over again on my Aerial Straps, to cross in the air this gigantest scene, accompanied by powerful and vibrant live music.

It was a unique, unexpected, unlikely moment... How I love them!
