Leuven in Scène: Le Grand Volant (Les Pépones)

Think of burlesque shows, think of slapstick,  think of the old black and white shows where people still seemed to walk in a funny way due accompagnied by cracking piano music full of noise, think of the black text signs that sometimes appeared in the middle of the show to frame a situation or context, ...

And transpose that on a dazzling high trapeze.

Well that was Le Grand Volant brought by Les Pépones (Fr).

Acrobats swirling back and forth, releasing, grabbing again on the other side in a very gracious way while "fighting" over a girl, accidently dropping someone etc...Too early they all "fell" down across the sunset, ready for their big bow to take our applause.  Well done.
