About
Astrea is a short performance in Montpellier that brings together dance, comedy and LED juggling. Its run lasts only a few minutes per show, so it suits a visitor who wants a brief, light-filled interlude rather than a full evening at the theatre.
What the show is about
The piece explores seduction, confusion and cooperation, and it does so through movement, humour and the glow of LED juggling. Each performance lasts between 15 and 20 minutes. Astrea was created by Jen et Srikanta Barefoot.
When and where
- Venue: the Agora du Polygone, 1 rue des Pertuisanes, 34000 Montpellier
- Dates: 12 and 13 November
- Times: 18:00 and 19:00 on each of those days
The Polygone is a shopping and leisure district in the centre-east of Montpellier, so it is easy to combine the performance with a walk through the city or an evening out nearby. Further details about the wider programme are available through the city's Cœur de Ville en Lumières page.
Is it for you?
Astrea works well for anyone curious about contemporary movement and circus-style juggling, and for visitors who enjoy a short, lively show in an open public space. Because each performance is brief, it can fit easily into an afternoon or early evening of exploring Montpellier.
