Les Josianes
Dance
06 September 2025
Josianes or the Art of Resistance is a street show that combines circus, dance and vertical dance.
Against a backdrop of offbeat humor, combining acrobatics, wild choreography, and polyphonic singing, the four women of the JOSIANES company recount their incredible adventures and explore the notion of feminine resistance. Uninhibited, authentic, and committed, funny yet sprinkled with vulnerability, the show is an ode to joie de vivre, to multifaceted femininity, and a beautiful tribute to our grandmothers!
