Gliding with lightning speed, Le Patin Libre is propelled by rigorous precision and enthusiasm. These iconoclastic skaters astonished and revolutionized the world of dance with their first two on-ice routines, and their innovative vision of the art of skating has launched them onto rinks all over the world.
Their new work investigates the mechanisms that govern how starlings move together in the haunting aerial synchronisations called murmurations. Almost imperceptible micromovements and instinctive changes in direction create a chain reaction that dictates the trajectory of the flock, whose members are constantly on the alert and attuned to those around them. Murmuration transmits the dynamic interactions of a harmonious and exhilarating coexistence. These high-flying skaters will have the whole family’s hearts soaring!
