So far, more than twenty-five productions have lain on the path of Abbi Patrix' journey with the Compagnie du Cercle. Creations that cross different artistic roads, springing from different textual material, seeking to break down the partitions between differing forms, and open out the art of story-telling. The most typical productions of the last years, amongst others, have been Parole (2000), Fragments of Stories (2001), To the Ends of the World (2002), The Companion (2005) and The Doors (2007).
