An international hit with audiences of all ages poses four musicians and dancers against an immense cube. Be amazed as they collide and bounce in a playful exploration of resilience.

What if failure opened up a new path to discovery or success? A quartet made of musicians and dancers defy an immense and immutable cube. They grip on to it and fall, persevere and try again. Each thwarted attempt provokes an unexpected point of departure, a new adventure, a rebound. Choreographer Thomas Guerry and composer Camille Rocailleux wrote this international success that has been performed in more than 20 countries: a joyful and sensitive piece weaving together innovative choreography and music. The performers demonstrate how to overcome obstacles in life by challenging themselves physically, creatively, and collaboratively.
