Le ciel rue
(The Sky is Kicking)
Surrealistic proposition
Le Ciel rue finds its inspiration in Surrealism,
bringing new meaning to the word “wonderful”.
This creative, fantastical universe plays in multiple ways
with reality and reason. It is a dream for the awakened, a
continuum of strange, visual associations where time and logic
do not apply.
In a cascade of choreographed scenes, optical illusions and magical effects
unfurl with a clown-arts twist. A poem without words, Le Ciel rue knows no
bounds but those of the imagination.

drapeau de l’imagination » André Breton
With their shows and festive interventions, Toxique Trottoir invests public space, gathering citizens for a
unique, collective adventure. They propose a universe where theatre meets clown arts, transforming the
daily urban life into an event. Since 2004, the street theatre company lead by three women artists
proposes an offbeat and humorous perspective on contemporary social issues.
