Compagnie Ieto

[post 134]

I don't know much about Compagnie Ieto, another product of the French circus school system.

Strictly speaking this is more nouveau cirque than physical comedy, but there's a strong kinship in terms of partner acrobatic work, engagement with the material world, and sheer creativity.
