Le Poivre Rose : Circus reflexion on the order and disorder of the gender
In this acrobatic vernal fresco, roughness trips over coquetry and the codes of gender dislocate themselves like the bodies that wear them. Male and female figures are like lost shoes, scattered roles in this family story divulge trough a suite of absurd short stories. The 5 artists use the acrobatic gesture as a language to narrate this tale supported by the musique of the singer and violonist Iva Bittová. (Aerial silk, rope, duo trapeze, chinese pole, partner acrobatic and handstand) .
