Soyons Sauvages !
Circus, dance, and live music
It begins with an exclamation—a slogan, a call to ourselves: Let’s be wild!
Have we become too human? What do we do with our animal side? Have we turned a deaf ear to the call of the wild? Do we lack the space to roar out the fullness of our humanity?
What if we stood on the edge of ourselves—neither fully inside nor fully out—in that "blue hour" between dusk and dark, when humans and animals tread the same grass and brush against the same foliage and cobblestones without seeing one another; a time when bodies break free, meet, and mingle.
In this new production, Compagnie Jupon summons our animal nature, questions societal boundaries, and seeks the tipping point toward our fragile, spontaneous selves—allowing us to roar, hoot, or howl our humanity.
Soyons sauvages (Let’s Be Wild) is an ode to sensitivity, the vital need for connection, and the search for those spaces on the edge.
