About the performance

Sensory experience inspired by the movement of waves

Where the night is not so far since the day is already fading explores time and the traces it leaves behind. Using the German wheel, Noa Aubry examines resistance to movement to create a slow and repetitive style, mirroring the ocean.

After studying classical guitar at the Conservatoire de Montreuil, Noa Aubry discovered the German wheel and pursued circus arts at ENACR and then CNAC. Where the night is not so far since the day is already fading is Noa’s first creation.

“I am just a body under the waves, alternately revealing and hiding the parts. You take them in turn as a ME. But they all make up me; my body is as vast as the ocean, and ME is a WE. Multiple and infinite, without beginning or end, undefined. We are the ocean, touched by rain and evaporated by the sun. Transformable and unfixed.”

– Noa Aubry

Abou the artist

“Noa’s formative years were shaped by crossing diverse landscapes by car every other weekend, accompanied by the melodies of Michel Berger, Daniel Balavoine, Christophe, or Leonard Cohen. In the meantime, she pursued classical guitar studies at the Conservatoire de Montreuil. She then discovered German wheel, propelling her through new domains and spaces, driving her to study at ENACR, then at CNAC. Guided by her musical odyssey, a deep appreciation for words—whether reading, writing, or speaking—and a profound fascination with the body, both in its physicality and symbolic significance, Noa navigated across artistic realms, transcending conventional boundaries. Her conception of the performing arts hinges on the intersection of the intelligible and the sensitive, with the living body serving as an eternal compass.” (Circusnext)
