Sortir par la Porte (une tentative d'évasion) - Juan Ignacio Tula
About
Having been adrift since leaving his father’s home, sixteen-year-old Juan frequents the Buenos Aires underground scene, revelling in music and dance. He smokes his first joint and spirals into a downward spiral. To pull him out of it, his mother sends him to a rehab centre that resembles a prison and has a fascist-like atmosphere.
Years later, the artist, now based in France, realises that his choice of the Cyr wheel as his apparatus is intimately linked to this experience. This three-metre ring, weighing fifteen kilos, becomes his partner in recounting this quest for his true self.
Following Instante I Lontano at the 2025 Brigittines International Festival, this is the second time we have welcomed this radiant artist, who returns with a performance to be experienced as a whirlwind of hope.
