Nicolas Fraiseau, one of the most promising circus artists of his generation in France, has gathered around him his younger and older colleagues. His Instable Show takes place somewhere between poetry and absurdity and works like a modern French game of the artist trying to find a balance through his actions, attempts, and states. It is a fun event that has had great success in Europe and beyond, and at the same time a performance which presents a different pole of contemporary circus that opens the sphere of history by incorporating the elements of poetry. The show was last seen in Armenia on 24 May 2021, where it was perceived as a great success by young audiences.

​

"A figure : that of a man trying to lift himself up, reminding us of the great
comics, for whom, as in circus, intense risk is a requirement."
