ALBIN WARETTE He belongs among the most wanted representatives, directors and actors in the world of new circus. He is working as a lecturer in the most popular French professional circus school Le Lido (Toulouse) for fourteen years. He is the founder of the progressive group Collectif Prêt-à-Porter, which influences the perception of the new circus. Albin said in the interview for Cirqueon: „Every circus movement has its rules. It is possible to understand these rules also in the framework of theatre and it is necessary to look for meanings and connections in them. In the ropewalk, handspring or somersault there are hidden esthetical, technical and theatre qualities that can be revealed and emphasised. Somersault can be connected with the role character.”
