Fierce 5

A Japanese-French-Taiwan collaboration between young circus artists.
5 people's growth story to the second chapter!

In the fall of 2021, Raphaël Boitel, a leading figure in the modern French circus world, will direct the production of Fierce 5, an international collaboration with Japanese circus artists.

Based on "5ES HURLANTS" (premiered in 2015), which has been performed around the world as a representative work of Company Louvrier, the performers have been depicted life-size by combining techniques such as dance, aerial, tightrope walking, and juggling.

Based on the Japanese proverb "Fall down seven times, get up eight" as a theme, this work depicts the "perseverance" of people living in the circus world who always stand up despite the many difficulties they face.At the time of the premiere in Japan, it overlapped with the daily lives of people living in the corona wreck and caused a great response.But as Rafael puts it, "A tribute to the circus and a metaphor for life," let's make the impossible possible through perseverance, courage and solidarity.The appearance of the circus artists is also a universal message of hope, not limited to the corona disaster.

In this recreation, which will be held with new members, we will bring out the full potential of the work, the artist, and the space of the theater, and deliver "Fearth 5" that has grown up.
