Blizzard

Go on a wild, poetic and gentle journey with FLIP Fabrique in this acrobatic performance that invites you to lose yourself in a moment of wonder.

Featuring outstanding visual poetry and performers at the peak of their art, Blizzard promises to blow away everything in its path.

What if winter has taken over?
Not just outside, in the streets and in the fields,
But also in the houses, in the bedrooms
Underneath our clothes, and even right into our hearts.
Everything, absolutely everything, buried under the snow,
Obliterated by a white-out.
The north wind freezes time as it flows over us.
Would it be a catastrophe?
Or a chance to start over,
To fix our mistakes?
A new blank page
In the shape of a blizzard.
