Melt
Le Patin Libre
With this post-apocalyptic yet comic roller skating quartet, Le Patin Libre finally goes on the stage to offer a virtuoso show for all audiences.
In a scorching future where ice, music and civilization no longer exist, a group of desperate yet happy skaters live on. Faced with the perils of a chaotic world, they survive together using their ingenuity, humor and love. Their friendship is only matched by their athleticism, as the four skaters glide, jump and dance their way to dizzying heights. From acrobatics to pirouettes, the performers take us into an ingenious reflection on what is precious in times of climate emergency. When ice caps, storms and fires will end, there will still be someone's hand to pull us towards the future.
With this choreographic project on roller skates, Le Patin Libre brilliantly transposes its ease from the ice to the stage, amazing young and old alike. Combining the athletic virtuosity of figure skating, the depth of contemporary dance and the sparkling joy of intelligent stage humor, Melt reminds us that there's no obstacle big enough to stop hoping.
