Pénélope is a trapeze artist and comedian. I saw her in the ‘Trapezi, Butterfly, Chair’ performance two years ago. There is no trapeze in this creation but a table (trapezi means table in greek) with two holes, a hanging garden and the flesh of two acrobats that was emphasized and magnified by the light. It’s thrilling, confusing, voluptuous and poetic.
I met her again at a trapeze workshop last week-end. I like her liberating, sensitive, gentle and organic approach.
