La Dyane

Sitting Duck is a Belgian company founded in 2016, born from the collaboration between Gonzalo Alarcón and Joris Verbeeren. After long individual journeys in the world of circus and street arts, their artistic and human encounter became the starting point for a rich and inspiring foundation for joint projects.

The company’s primary mission is the creation, promotion, and dissemination of theatre and circus in public spaces. It embraces a multidisciplinary artistic approach, encouraging dialogue between various practices as a driving force for creation. Feats of skill, physical theatre, clowning, juggling, object manipulation, and the pursuit of impossible tricks are all central elements in the company’s work.

Their first creation, Chiringuito Paradise, was performed over 200 times in 11 countries, propelling Cie Sitting Duck onto the international scene.

For La Dyane, Sitting Duck sought to expand the troupe and explore new collective creative dynamics. The project brings together actors and circus artists Andrea Bettaglio and Nicoló Antioco Ximenes, as well as multidisciplinary artist Marije Nie. The direction was entrusted to Christine Rossignol-Dallaire.
