The Kitsch Kong company invites you into its cabinet of curiosities.

Enter with them into this mini-museum populated by unexpected objects, where the rules of performance fade away to explore the "despedida." What's that?
Despedida is a Brazilian expression that conveys the notion of departure, abandonment, farewell, or goodbye. In their own way, through clowning and acrobatic lifts, humor and sensitivity, the two artists take hold of this multifaceted concept. But here, the focus is less on the farewell itself than on what precedes it: the emotions, tensions, and intimate discoveries that accompany every change of cycle. The despedida thus becomes a rich and complex experience, where each moment of transition reveals its own nuances and transformations.

A body that moves, falls, gets up… and tells us about the passage of time.

With Miettes (Crumbs), Jules Sadoughi explores what each gesture reveals about life and time. A young body, already worn. Between impulses and fragility, it lives, falls, and rises again. On stage, almost nothing: a body in motion, a few objects, and raw energy. In this solo acrobatic dance, Jules Sadoughi offers a simple, direct, and profoundly human form.
Through a rhythmic choreography, made up of rapid and sometimes restrained movements, the body reveals itself by turns as free, fragile, and constrained. Marked by injuries, it explores this strange paradox: feeling both young and already worn, like being 5 and 80 years old at the same time. Between falls, impulses, and recoveries, the body tells of what time transforms, damages… but also what resists. A physical and poetic solo that speaks of what we all go through: growing up, growing old… and simply continuing to move forward.
