Between the foot and the step. 
Amid the breath and the word. 
That’s where curiosity encounters fear.  
Here, doubts, hesitations and decisions fill the void. 
This is where you move for the very first time. 
You dance,  
desirous, innocent and bold.  

What is going on, mentally and physically, right before a first time? A first step? A first word? What journey does an action take before it becomes reality? And can we map that invisible, but deeply moving, journey? 

In Antes de..., Compagnie Tea Tree finds their inner child, and ventures into the unknown. Acrobatics partners Sara Olmo and Pierre Viatour rely solely on each other. Hand in hand and foot to foot, they take turns leading the dance, show each other the way, and strike a path through unexplored territory. A poetic, playful and acrobatic performance for ages 2+. 

Winner of the Prix de la ministre de l’Enfance at the Rencontres Théâtre jeune public 2026.

In much circus work, the tricks tend to come first, and content is often added afterwards for extra cultural capital. In 'Antes de…' you feel exactly the opposite: everything starts from a layered analysis of the tender human experience as an explorer, and from what the artists want to convey about it. Their partner acrobatics then become the unique form to make that content truly tangible.
