Laisse-moi is a Contemporary Circus show on Chinese Pole
Laisse-moi – Acrobatics Show on Chinese Pole
Laisse-moi is an acrobatic show that combines Chinese pole, ground movements, and audience interaction to tell a universal story. It tells the encounter and separation between a man and a woman, exploring love, differences, and the difficulty of being close to each other.

What the public says about Laisse-moi
It is a magnificent show filled with immense emotion, a very rich story that covers all aspects of relationships with others. It was truly complete and even brought me to tears.
It is a wonderful show, very poetic, very romantic, and filled with skill, energy, and heart.
It’s great to involve the audience in street art in this way, using weight and truly engaging the audience in every possible way.

A story of meeting and a separation separation.
A story of a man and a woman.
A love story.
A story of the difficulty of being close to each other.
A story of the knowledge of the other and their differences. A story of sweetness.
A story of pain.
Relationship with the public and the space
Do the artists depend on their audience? Yes, this is a reality. Without viewers there are not shows and vice versa. But… can they also depend physically? This is the challenge of Nely Carrasco and Miguel Rubio. His staging depends on the people who decide to support it, with his gaze and his physical body, seated about 16 chairs that are part of the scenery.
Those who choose to be my support, will feel that really depend on them to keep the mounting afloat. Acrobats occupying a particular space where they find the vertical (pole) and the horizontal (floor). In their work, Nely Carrasco and Miguel Rubio seek to mix these two spaces, they look for the fluency in gestures to have the same movement and quality on the ground and in the air.
