Playground in Cran-Gevrier 2025
Playground Impossible acrobatics on a Chinese pole at the Cran-Gevrier’s Carnival
Once a religious festival, the carnival today brings together young and old in costume in large parades in many towns in the Haute-Savoie department. Annecy, also known as ‘Little Venice’, hosts the Venetian carnival every year at the end of February. But there are also carnivals for families, to the delight of children. In Annecy, these carnivals take place week after week in the various districts and former communes.
On 29 March next, the Carnival in Cran-Gevrier will take place, organised by Cran-Gevrier Animation and the Youth Department of the City of Annecy. Playground will be part of the programme at 16:30 at the water circle.
See you in Cran-Gevrier on 29 March 2025!
Do you want to know more about Playground?
Playground by Miguel Rubio is an emotionally charged, warm solo acrobatic performance featuring a Chinese pole. In order to succeed, Miguel relies on the physical and emotional support of the audience, who become an integral part of the show. The performance requires active participation, with the spectators physically helping to hold up the set, which includes a towering 8-meter-high Chinese pole. The connection between the audience and the artist is crucial, as the entire structure would not stand without their involvement.
This is the challenge Miguel Rubio embraces. His performance depends entirely on the spectators, who support it not only with their gaze but also through their physical presence, seated on 8 chairs that are part of the set. Those who take on this role will feel firsthand how much the success of the show relies on them to keep the 8-meter-high structure intact throughout the performance.
