Dark Circus

Overview

Described as a cinema without the film, French artists Romain Bermond and Jean-Baptiste Maillet's Dark Circus sees the duo project striking silhouettes onto the big screen. Dark Circus tells the story of an "unhappy circus" – one where the human cannonball meets his demise and the lion tamer has the tables turned on him. Bermond and Maillet expertly interweave light, shadow and negative space – along with a light-hearted funk and soul soundtrack – to create a deeply tongue-in-cheek performance that seemingly brings a story to life out of nothing.
