“The state of suspension is a place of risk; a place to confront your fears in order to understand that your fears are simply a projection of your mind. Fear is a funny thing, as much as it can block us and keep us from doing what we want, it can be the thing that saves us. It’s a constant search for balance.” (Corinne Linder)

The performance “Hold On” is more than a virtual reality (VR) film. It is a physical experience asking what happens when you have pushed your limit too far? How to continue living through your passion? Based on the creator’s Corinne Linder’s life experiences, a fall of 6 meters, the performance with VR headsets transports the viewers into the world of aerial disciplines. In their world, where the risk and injury are a constant burden for circus artists, it is an invitation for the viewers to feel the fragility of the moment and an opportunity to discover the different sensations usually experienced by artists on stage: the notion of risk, joy, and adrenaline. Feel the adrenaline rush through your body when you look down and find yourself suspended 10 meters above the ground, in front of the audience!

Corinne Linder started the circus at the age of 7. From 2011 to 2014, she joined the Lido Vocational School in Toulouse and earned a degree in stage art production at the Université Toulouse Jean Jaurès in 2016. She worked as a circus performer for other companies between 2013-2017. In 2017 her interest in other art forms led her to collaborate in the writing of creative projects. That same year she created her own company, Fheel Concepts, with which she has created three projects.
