Agathe & Adrien: N. Ormes
N.Ormes is a circus show where the duo Agathe and Adrien pushes the limits
and expectations of their own bodies and gender norms. Provocative,
and expectations of their own bodies and gender norms. Provocative,
dysfunctional and tender, the piece brings the viewer to question their own
assumptions.
The story features two protagonists and their relationship navigating between
complicity and power struggles. Skilfully combining hand to hand, Icarian
games and dance, the stage becomes an arena. One by one, the archetypes
fall in battle, giving way to a quest for friendship and fairness through power
and fluidity.
With minimal scenography, and the rich lighting of Claire Seyller, we follow
their relationship through moments of frenzy and exhaustion. The original
score by Simon Leoza takes us through the intimate and grandiose evolution
of the protagonists, where the exchange of roles and lifts, like a new
language, blurs all our preconceptions.
