Elastic & Francesca
For an evening dedicated to laughter and elegance, we are delighted to welcome the international duo Elastic & Francesca. Since last year, they have been delighting and impressing our guests, young and old alike. Have you already had the chance to see them perform on our stage?
Award-winners at the prestigious Monte-Carlo International Circus Festival, they brilliantly fuse visual humour with technical performance.
Allow us to introduce them:
He, Elastic, is a master of burlesque and poetic comedy, whose expressions evoke the greats of silent cinema. She, Francesca, is an outstanding juggler, a world champion and Guinness World Record holder.
Together, they transport you into a sparkling and wacky universe where blunders unfold with military precision, to the absolute delight of the audience. They won you over last summer, and they are returning for one night only on 5th August—much to our delight (they are an absolute gem)!
Duo Imagine
Before we finish our round-up of this season’s highlights, let yourself be swept away by the dreamlike world of Compagnie Imagine. This duo of virtuoso performers excels in the art of transformation and movement. Gracefully blending dance, mime, and breathtaking light-up costumes, they create living portraits of great poetic beauty. Our team was completely spellbound…
Their show, a true sensory journey, will captivate you with its softness and refined aesthetic. An enchanting and elegant interlude that fits perfectly with the spirit of your holiday at Pin Parasol. Come and discover (or rediscover) them on Wednesday 8th July, Wednesday 29th July, and Wednesday 12th August.
