PERFORMANCE
In Beyond the Clouds, Manon sweeps the audience into a poetic universe where dance, contortion, and illusion blur together.
On stage, a colossal cloud comes to life, becoming her companion on this journey. Oscillating between lightness and tension, fragility and momentum, Manon explores ambition, perseverance, and life’s core challenges. Every movement becomes a dizzying flight; every pirouette a leap to shatter limits and chase one’s dreams.
Fusing poetry and virtuosity, Beyond the Clouds delivers an immersive, enchanting experience—a celebration of the inner strength that drives us to always reach further.
COMPANY AND CHOREOGRAPHERS
Founded in Valenciennes, northern France, Gipsy Raw is a Franco-Italian company led by Manon Mafrici and Pasquale Fortunato.
With a background spanning ballet, jazz, hip-hop, and contortion, Manon Mafrici works alongside major international names, including the acclaimed Compagnie Hervé Koubi. Pasquale Fortunato, one of the most prominent figures on the Italian breaking scene, balances his career as a performer with international collaborations and a long-standing role in the hit musical Notre-Dame de Paris.
Together, they craft works where the body becomes the ultimate crossroads for different disciplines, sensibilities, and artistic visions.
