In Ni Omnibus, Jean-Paul Lefeuvre dives into his own minuscule world, which he proceeds to conquer laboriously and conscientiously.

​

His stage/box is not nearly big enough for those long limbs, but that won’t stop him, and wild contortions will help him to find his way: there’s a long bar, a small straight ladder on which he will swing with all the light grace of reptile. A challenge to gravity and to the laws of physics.

​

A clever stacking of wooden crates will allow him to build wings, which will, in the end surround his upper body completely. Jean Paul Lefeuvre steps across a slack rope as is he were wandering across the road, and stretches out on this same slack rope as if he had found the most comfortable of hammocks.

​

Didier André and Jean-Paul Lefeuvre make their way with talent, lightness and shifting fluidity, from front to back, onscreen and off, so well in fact that at times we aren’t quite sure: who is in front of the screen and who is behind?

​

Their circus is bursting with minimalistic illusion. A small, a great, a light, a deep, an intimate show - marvellous!
