  A DEER IN HEADLIGHTS

"Life should not be a one-way journey to the grave, with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty, well-preserved body, but rather a swerve along the side roads, in a cloud of smoke, from which we emerge worn out, exhausted, proclaiming loudly: what a ride!"
Hunter S. Thompson
After "The Elephant in the Room", Cirque Le Roux presents the second opus of its dyptic "The Elephant in the Room".  La Nuit du Cerf - A Deer in the Headlights.
This original creation, inspired by true events, blends the French New Wave with the American Grindhouse movement of the 70s. A plot that is at once comic, strange and disconcerting.
Miss Betty is dead.... Her three children gather at the family home at the end of a woodland lane to prepare for the funeral ceremony.
Suddenly, with a screech of tyres, a mysterious, shaggy, out-of-shape stranger appeared. arrives. From there, everything changes: the newly reunited family settles scores, tears, loves, grabs, laughs, laughs, cries, dances, goes off the rails ... and the funeral goes off the rails.
"La Nuit du Cerf" features a gallery of astonishing, colourful, charismatic and funny characters.    
A work in which the singularity, fragility and tenderness of human relationships catch up with us. Six virtuoso circus artists perform a series of balancing acts, hand-to-hand, banquine, acrobatics, aerial framing, high-wire... Once again, the company's creative choice and challenge is to take physical risks and create emotional depth.
It's a tribute to the cinema, to today's circus, to humanity in all its humour, clumsiness and splendour.
