Pli

Laureate 2020-2021

Pli is an acrobatic and poetic project revolving around body and paper.

At the crossroads of circus and fine arts, the project Pli was born out of the encounter of Inbal Ben Haim (circus artist), Alexis Merat (folder – paper crusher) and Domitille Martin (plastic artist and scenographer). Together they invented a new suspension apparatus: an aerial paper rope. Through a surprising dialogue, they tackle materialist and human notions to speak about the fragility and the power that resides in both the material and in each one of us.
