A curving metal line climbs into the sky. In its wake, more than a hundred ceramic cylinders hang in the air, the multitude of vertical lines creating a visual and rhythmic space. A space serves as a poetic playground that invites visitors to linger throughout the summer, with circus art, performances, concerts, dance, readings and workshops. Crescendo pushes the boundaries between visual and performance art and encourages interaction between artistic creation and viewers through amplified forms, aesthetic tension and emotional vibration, beyond the usual codes of representation. 

After 5 months in Lyon, the installation will go on tour from 2025 on.

Opening week, 2^nd May 2024
