About Transe Express

Transe Express are self confessed inventors of imagination and describe themselves with real passion:

“Transe Express performs in open spaces to provoke an encounter with the audience. Without limitations, several artistic mediums and modes of expression are the ingredients for our creators. Music, visual arts, circus skills, fire, literature, metallurgy, opera, rock, dance, with a preference for theatre are cornerstones of our philosophy.

Shock creations which at times invest a stage, non-conventional spaces but principally the streets ; Intriguing the public in their everyday lives ; Unique adventures to transform a city, to create a strong moment of an era. The team is constituted of a hundred actors, acrobats, bell ringers, dancers, percussionists, singers, string quartets, welders, technicians, forgers and others that make up the motley crew who regularly realizes the projects of the Company: Ephemeral creations or repertoire shows, close proximity, aerial or ambulating spectacles – that’s Transe Express!”
