Machine de Cirque

After being performed at this summer’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Ghost Light: Between Fall and Flight receives its U.S. premiere at LOH! 

Hailing from Québec City, Machine de Cirque creates thrillingly original circus performances for audiences of all ages.

In Ghost Light: Between Fall and Flight, the curtain falls, and the theater is plunged into darkness – except for a lone light standing guard. It’s the fabled ghost light. The spirits that inhabit the space are drawn toward the light. As they recall the energy of a past life, they push each other around, push each other away, enjoy themselves, tear each other apart, only to fall into an embrace once again.

A symbol of partnership, the show’s central prop – a spinning teeterboard – propels the acrobats toward each other in the euphoria of flight, the levity of weightlessness, and the inevitability of the fall.

Ghost Light: Between Fall and Flight makes visible what is invisible. The two beings lead us into a captivating performance that blends stunning acrobatic feats and fast-paced choreography with ethereal lighting and upbeat music.

Let yourself be moved by this story that touches the spirit beyond mere mortal words.
