Paul Keaton / Western Coquillettes 2020

Paul Keaton has a very specific goal in his life: To become a star. Shine in broad daylight by showing the world his unicycle dance.

An absurd and delicate show, mixing clown, hat catapult, in-extremis juggling and balance.

With gentleness and elegance, this sensitive character immerses us in his eventful universe where hats take over the manipulator step by step. A spiral of the unexpected sets in motion, his jacket subtly bamboozles him, his suspenders twist him... A veritable bewildered ballet that leads him little by little to transform his clumsiness into surprising virtuosity.

And in an exceptional surge of confidence, he goes for it... Perched on his unicycle, arms wide open, brushing against the void. He dances, twirls, plays with his imbalance. His long jacket embraces him, fluttering to the rhythm of his whirling.

What grace, what voluptuousness!
