From behind a simple black curtain two acrobats emerge, ready to enthrall their audience with a well-oiled routine of remarkable feats. But as they begin their first lift, doubt strikes. Is this the right move? Is this what we rehearsed?
Determined to continue at any cost, the disoriented duo invent new tricks and lifts with hilarious consequences. By Trial and Error is filled with humour borrowed from burlesque and silent cinema, where the audience is constantly surprised and entertained by the antics, skill and charm of the performers.
Presented in association with the French Embassy in Ireland
Cirque Content Pour Peu (CCPP) was founded in 2010 by Loïse Manuel et Hugo Marchand, at the centre of circus arts of Chambery, 'Arc En Cirque'.
Loïse Manuel was trained in equestrian vaulting (Cheval Art Action) and taught circus in Balles à Fond (Quimper.) She joined the circus center 'Arc en Cirque' in 2008, graduating in 2012. She specialized in Flying rope and acrobatics. She decided to focus her training toward mixing fields such as circus, puppetry, and using objects in ways other than their primary function.
Hugo Marchand was trained at the circus school of LOMME. With La Troupe he experienced the stage and furthered his training with music and theater at the music school of Roubaix. From 2006 to 2009, he worked as a circus teacher and in 2009 entered the center of Circus Arts in Chambéry 'Arc En Cirque'. He specializes in tight ropes and also develops his acrobatic skills with Loïse.
