An exhibit on The Mechanics of History
Yoann's pieces widely center around moving performers on dynamic sculptures.
He is notable for having a revolving staircase with a trampoline in the center.
In addition, he puts performers on spinning platforms and utilizes the Centripetal and Centrifugal forces to create dramatic effects.
He refers to the weightless moments in the acts as suspension points.
These are times where the performers reach Zero Gravity. It can also refer to the relative movements of performers on a spinning platform. He strives for Equilibrium in his acts.
Yoann Bourgeois is considered a nouveau-cirque acrobat, bringing elements of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton's Absurdism and silent acts. [1]
