Appris par Corps

Présentation

Appris par corps is a show for two acrobats. With a broaden vision of hand to hand balancing, this piece is questioning the relationship between two people, through the filter of this peculiar couple made of a base and a flyer. These two male bodies is ambiguously navigating from tenderness to violence, from wish to mingle to temptation to escape to the obligation of this almost twin-link, connecting them irremediably.

 

“In this show, two men face each other and challenge their relationship. They lead us through the turmoils of intimacy, where bonds become loose, where the boundaries between love and death intertwine.
Through their movements, borrowing from dance, drama and circus, an intense but fragile relationship is at stake, which echoes Nature. The hand to hand technique becomes a language of its own, a sort of cryptogram needing to be sounded out in order to understand its sensitive alphabet.
It’s a story about brotherhood, about two beings, lonely but strongly united by their own fights, hope and almost twin-like interdependency.
This acrobatic duet calls for union, while teaching to accept one’s own loneliness and our differences”
