On the program, two shows to be found in Bischwiller:
Tuesday May 10. 2022 • 8 p.m. – “INOPS” by Clément Dazin – Cie La Main de l’Homme

The biggest fight remains the one he leads against himself. “Inops” is a reflection on overpower, impotence and resistance through different circus disciplines. Imagined with six circus artists and four thousand plastic cups, “Inops” will invoke personal helplessness and also that of the group through games, acrobatics, juggling, fabric and rocking.
Wednesday May 11. 2022 • 7 p.m. – THE WEDDING OF FIGARO

Brahms spoke of it as a “miracle” and the Countess’ lament still resounds today as one of the most heartbreaking musical pages.
