About the event
They glide and glide, bringing us along into their wildest dreams. Far from glitz and glamour, the gentle rebels of Patin Libre elevated figure skating to the rank of contemporary stage art. Their new work on ice, created from simple algorithms complexified by new variables, is inspired by the mysterious phenomenon of bird flocks, those hallucinating aerial ballets - poetically called Murmurations. Micromovements and changes of direction create a domino effect that deflects the group's trajectory, where each individual - antennae up - is constantly on the lookout. In so doing, they explore the dynamic interactions of a harmonious and exhilarating coexistence. An adrenaline rush for the whole family!
