CIRQUEMÉTRAGE

​

Synopsis

​

Cirquémétrage unfolds in the rhythm of office life — where routine blurs into resignation, and ambition quietly fades into habit. Dedicated to those who show up, stay late, and carry on — not because they believe in the system, but because they have no choice.

A bit more about the project

​

Cirquemétrage is a circus capsule which draws inspiration from the concept of short movie “court métrage”. Blending circus (trapeze, mouth balance, knive throwing) and inspired by magie nouvelle, Cirquemétrage oscillates between unsettling realism and moments of absurd beauty in a sharp caricature of our productivity driven system. Drawing from the striking aesthetics of 1980s cinema, the space itself transforms alongside the protagonist, a mutable stage that breathes and changes, while she remains trapped between the four walls of an office that whisper the echo of an entire system.
