The mud man is a figure, a myth. He is in every one of us – the primal being, always struggling, to live, to stand, to speak; the juggler who keeps throwing when everything falls, the tree that keeps growing whilst everything around sinks.��An intense physical performance that turns towards those existential feelings we often keep distant: solitude of the soul, our terror of falling and the disturbing desire to return back to mud. Sculptural, sensuous, dark and humorous.
Le Jardin des Délices is a circus company established by Nathan Israël and Luna Rousseau. They are both creators, one on stage, the other as director. The company uses humour while working with the figure of a monster which can be interpreted as the individual who does not fit to norm – in a way, that is the true definition of a circus artist.
