This Avant-Cabaret community consists of classicallytrained dancers, some of the nations most acclaimed acrobats, aerial artists, contortionists and circus side-show acts, an array of unique fire-performers, a handful of thespians and a barrage of the most enticing go-go's. Vau de Vire offers a variety of entertainment scenarios ranging from a customizedto-theme 60 min. ensemble stage-show w/live orchestra -to- atmospheric circus specialty acts and living-art installations -to- a series of solos w/accompanying choreography -or a combination thereof. The group has been cross pollinating genres by collaborating with an eclectic variety of world-renowned musicians and Dj's in creating original stage shows and festival productions for the non- pretentious. Most notable recent collaborators include Cirque du Soleil, San Francisco Symphony, the Alkaline Trio, The Dresden Dolls, Fishbone, Rosin Coven, Chemical Brothers and many more widely respected artists.
Transcending the wall between audience and performer...Attending a Vau de Vire event is akin to stepping into aninteractive Circus where all layers of pretension are discarded at the door. The 2-dimensional wall between audience and performer areshattered by VdV artists frequently emerging amongst the crowd in roaming vignettes. The audience and performer become a single force, creating a nonjudgmental/art-filled environment providing all in attendance a safe-haven to explore their beautifulfreak within... indulging the spectator's fantasies of running away with the circus for the night.
No matter the genre they infiltrate with their unique brand of Circus Theatrics, the Vau de Vire Society creates a live choreographed explosion of all that is beautifully talented.
