03 may 2024 — Portimão Riverside Area (Clube Naval)
As part of the artistic programme created by Lavrar o Mar - Cooperativa Cultural to celebrate the centenary of Portimão's municipal status (1924-2024), in partnership with Portimão Council, the French company Cirque Inextremiste arrives in Portimão with its hot-air balloon to transform the town's sky into an unusual scenographic universe, where the aerial acrobatics of the artists live alongside the stars.
The audience immerse themselves, body and soul, in an open-air theatre. A group of sweet lunatics is determined to transform ballooning into an amusement park. They are determined to fulfil a single mission: to break out of their straitjackets and escape, at all costs, from a world governed by rigid and implacable rules in a crescendo towards freedom.
EXIT is an emancipation of the spirit, a powerful, luminous and unifying artistic breath, a demonstration of the porous border between art and madness
