Experience
La Barge (Banquine)
(1998+)


With amazing strength and fearlessness, this team of talented acrobats performs atop a floating raft in the Barge act. The core group is comprised of eight world champion women with a background of sport acrobatics. Their act combines inventive gymnastic performances with the traditional circus act of banquine and the balletic prowess of adagio. Blending these skills with water completes this high-energy act, which also includes synchronized swimmers and Olympic divers.

Castaways or Survivors? Shipwrecked or rescued? Lost or saved? Adrift in a sea of madness on an isolated barge, as celestial castaways build transient pulsating towers to the heavens, clambering their way to where instinct meets reason and where love meets fear, we realize the only possible answer to these question is "yes".

Did you know the Barge is made of Nida Core, Fiberglass and Mondo? Seven Divers maneuver it into place and it can hold 20 performers. The platform is equipped with 14 breathing stations on its underside.

A new version of the act, entitled "The Island" or "Barge 2.0" was integrated into the show in mid-June 2023, as a more Banquine-focused performance. An injury ocurred a few days later (on June 28, 2023), which resulted in the entire act to be removed for five months. As of November 26, 2023, Barge has returned to "O".
