About the performance
Three acrobats walk the fine line between wrestling and cruising, reshaping what ‘masculinity’ can mean. Armored in sports gear and hungry for physical intensity, they teeter between strength and vulnerability, erotics and play. Like mythical Graces, they sketch a generous vision of love in an intimate arena that pulls the audience right in. Sexy, raw, virtuosic.
“Armour is the kind of work we’d like to see more of, both intelligent and extremely sensitive and relevant.” Matthieu Dochtermann, Cult.news
Trigger warnings
- The show starts with 2’30 minutes of darkness
- Partial nudity and scenes of physical intimacy. The work of these three acrobats presents an intimate relationship between the bodies that can be uncomfortable. Coming to the performance means accepting to confront it.
