How do people who can't see perceive the world? And can a stage performance be conceived equally for the blind and the sighted? With ›Sanctuaire Sauvage‹, the artists of the Collectif Rafale dare to experiment and create a sensual, artistic spectacle in which seeing is understood as just one of many senses. The work draws on stories of the non-sighted father of two of the collectives founders whose blindness means he experiences both circus and the world in a different way to most: the sensations of cold and warmth, humidity alternating with dryness, the feeling of soft and hard surfaces. Inviting you to rethink your horizons of perception, ›Sanctuaire Sauvage‹ is a feast for the senses and an exceptional experience for all!

In the frame of REMIX - A festival for spring
