A tender, thrilling and thought-provoking show. Prepare to be amazed!
This liquid-like performance comes from Canada’s Agathe and Adrien, a charming double act that intertwines acrobatics, story-telling and gasp-inducing moments.The topic: gender norms. The challenge: changing perspectives. The pair take us on a journey to dismantle societal archetypes and in the process, place us in awe as we watch them tumble, fly and land gracefully upon one another. There is a poetic softness throughout the show which is touching, poignant and highly skilled.
Agathe and Adrien swap roles throughout which shows us no matter what size you may be, or gender- there is nothing stopping you from achieving whatever you seek. A woman can be tough and strong, just in the same way a man can be soft and vulnerable. When speaking to the pair, Adrien declared he too likes to be cradled. This is important for us to acknowledge. We live in a society that places strict rules on gender, how we perceive them and what roles we should fit into. This show gracefully turns that on its head, encourages us to break free from these social norms and see how life can be whatever you choose, regardless of your gender.
You can catch this magnificent show at the Assembly Roxy, Upstairs on these dates: Aug 2-6, 8-13, 15-20, 22-25. It’s not one to miss!
