LA CRUSH
Information
Switzerland
The doors of the Anciens abattoirs open onto a creation by Collectif LA CRUSH, specially devised for the occasion. Choreographic sequences, acrobatic performances, vocal explorations: disciplines blend to create a festive, collective ritual. The audience finds itself at the centre, without anyone quite knowing how it happened. People dance, sing, move around, buzz with energy and interact. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1: together, we step into this Capital year, with our hearts full of resolutions rooted in solidarity. The time has come for reunions, reinvention and rebuilding. Naturally, the celebrations continue past midnight.

Focus on: collective
Bringing together around twenty French-Swiss artists, LA CRUSH was born from a mutual affinity shared by three creative collectives working in public spaces: La Horde dans les Pavés, Ouinch Ouinch and La Grosse Plateforme. Their meeting at the Aurillac Festival in summer 2023 sparked a desire to work together. Dance, circus, music, parkour: their practices merge around the same playground - the street - and the same energy: that of the collective. Their ultimate goal is carnival: raw, joyful and fiercely infectious.
Biographies
La Grosse Plateforme brings together performing artists in the Île-de-France region around multidisciplinary creations, public engagement initiatives and a strong appetite for celebration and collective endeavour.
La Horde dans les Pavés, a Franco-Swiss acrobatic collective, turns the city into its playground by blending circus, parkour, urban climbing and street dance.
OUINCH OUINCH, a fluid Geneva-based collective, creates raw, absurd and carnival-inspired performances in which dance, celebration and audience interaction take centre stage.
