After more than 200 performances and enthusiastic acclaim from both audiences and the press, "C'est idiot mais ça colle à la peau" (It's silly but it sticks to you) is a contemporary circus show conceived and performed by Yohan Durand, an artist who virtuously blends diabolo, juggling, dance, street theatre, and theatrical philosophy. At the crossroads of artistic disciplines, this original creation transforms a simple show into a truly immersive experience, as spectacular as it is moving.

It all begins with an invitation to board the "train of life." This symbolic train, which everyone boards without always knowing where they are going or where they will arrive, becomes the guiding thread of a universal journey. Very quickly, the audience understands that they will not be mere spectators: each person becomes a spectacular traveler, involved in reflecting on their own path, their choices, their encounters, and the place they occupy on this train where we all travel.

Through sensitive and profoundly human writing, Yohan Durand reveals a part of himself. With sincerity, humor, and great generosity, he evokes the trials, doubts, joys, and moments that shape a life. His commitment is total, both physically and verbally. Every movement, every diabolo throw, every step on stage contributes to the narrative and becomes a true artistic language.

The diabolo, often perceived as a simple game of skill or a traditional juggling tool, here regains its full artistic dimension. In the hands of Yohan Durand, it becomes a stage partner capable of expressing emotions, telling a story, and accompanying a narrative where technique is never an end in itself but always in service of the message. The spectacular figures unfold with impressive precision, blending speed, musicality, fluidity, and poetry.

The show constantly shifts between contemporary circus, juggling, dance, and street theatre. This hybrid of disciplines creates a unique world where humor mingles with emotion, where moments of virtuosity follow more intimate and contemplative interludes. The pace is brisk, the staging inventive, and the choreography meticulously crafted, offering the audience a journey rich in surprises.

One of the great strengths of "It's Silly But It Sticks to You" lies in its universality. Whether you're a child, a teenager, or an adult, everyone can identify with this journey. The show speaks as much to those still searching for their place in the world as to those who think they've found it. It invites everyone to reflect on their own path, with sensitivity, without ever resorting to moralizing.

With exquisite finesse and poetic flair, Yohan Durand makes his diabolo dance through a series of scenes where technical precision constantly serves to convey emotion. His style, at once dynamic, musical, and incredibly precise, transports the audience through the trials and joys that mark a life. The journey is intense, sometimes funny, sometimes touching, but always profoundly human.

Presented at the Salle Le Triolet in Tignieu-Jameyzieu, this show offers a rare opportunity to discover a contemporary approach to diabolo, far removed from classic demonstrations. It provides a true immersion into a world where juggling interacts with dance, theatre, and poetry to create a work accessible to all audiences.

The quality of this creation has been widely praised by critics. The Journal du Centre wrote in 2024:

"A breathtaking spectacle, both for the young man's skill and agility in twirling his colored diabolo, and for his inventive choreography and staging."

The media outlet De la Cour au Jardin also highlighted:

"Don't miss Yohan Durand under any circumstances if his show is scheduled near you (...) An unforgettable show."

Blending technical prowess, dance, theatre, humour and poetry, "It's silly but it sticks to the skin" is much more than a diabolo show. It's an invitation to embark on a universal journey to the heart of our lives, led by an authentic artist who transforms juggling into a true theatrical and emotional language.
