Three acrobats take spectacle to the extreme, playing with their bodies and movements with cold precision and an insatiable love for special effects. Yet, within this harmony, a crack appears—a deep irony that transforms their act into a chaotic yet carefully crafted performance.
The effects lose their element of surprise but not their power to astonish, as you, the audience, witness a grand display of absurdity.
By creating their own sound and visual effects reminiscent of Duchamp’s work, they simultaneously deny his existence, insisting he died in 1968. Their tricks are not meant to amaze with skill but to confuse with their banal and unexpected logic—perhaps even to shock, bewilder, or simply make you laugh.
Randomness becomes the rule, the line between real and fake blurs before your eyes, and what begins as a parody becomes serious. Unexpected bursts of laughter may cause discomfort, and the performers take no responsibility for any lasting confusion—you are advised to consult a doctor or therapist if necessary.
Are you ready for an experience that will shake you from the inside out?

The project is being carried out with the support of the French Institute in Serbia and Teatroskop – a program of the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, the French Ministry of Culture, and the French Institute in Paris.
