Le jongleur Yoann Bourgeois et les pianistes Wilhem Latchoumia et Jay Gottlieb nous rappellent comment le cirque peut rejoindre la musique classique. A côté des inspirations quelquefois stéréotypées de Widman, Satie ou Stravinsky, la chorégraphie jonglée sur une fugue de Bach est une merveille.

His build is blocky like the hockey defense-man he once was, but Denis Matsuev’s fingers can touch piano keys lightly as butterflies landing on begonias.
