Transhumance,
Moving to Higher Grounds

with a hundred and fifty performers,

of giant mechanical animals...

"Our entire experience for the last fifteen years has led and prepared us for this experience. "Transhumance" has emerged from each creation we have produced and is influenced by manifold encounters in the streets of Europe and Africa through the years.

"Transhumance" has been emerging since 1997 with the crossing and strength of 16 cities in France: Montbéliard, Noisy-le-Sec, Evry, Sotteville-les-Rouen, Chalon-sur-Saone, Brest, Noisy-le-sec, Cognac, Weimar, Neerpelt, Dijon, Issy-les-Moulineaux, Edinburgh, Bruxelles, Macôn, Ottawa and Montréal.
In each of these cities, 780 citizens were invited to participate in the crossing of their city while metamorphosing into new persona and creating their own reading of our dudream. 95,000 spectators have now witnessed the spectacular crossing of Transhumance.

In the year 2000, the procession will pass through Conflans, Blanc-Mesnil, Saint Jacques de Compostelle...
