The Paris l'été Festival continues until July 31.

On the program in particular an atypical show.

Aquatic performance.

There are two of them: one is a freediver, the other a former top swimmer.

And both are also contemporary circus artists.

This union of circus and apnea forms this show entitled “Out of the blue”.

Time seems to slow down… In the middle of the scene, a human-sized aquarium.

The water is sublimated by a light with changing colors, and inside, two weightless bodies.

The two aquatic acrobats had the idea of ​​combining their two passions, water and the circus.

Their goal: to transmit to the public the taste of diving.
