Être avec

Please note that since this performance cannot be experienced remotely, it had unfortunately to be cancelled.

Patching up the banal, chatting with shovels and petting cars.

Être avec is an improvised stroll performed nightly by four acrobat-walkers. Through DIY tactics, the tour subverts our preconceived notions about the meeting of bodies, senses and masses. Speculating on the story of worn-down things, we take time to explore the gentleness of insignificance and spy on the soft caress of invisible hands, crossing our fingers that we may find a way of making the commonplace poetic once more.

Founded in 2019 at the initiative of Claudel Doucet, LION LION supports emerging acrobatic and interdisciplinary dramaturgical approaches. Its first creation Se prendre was presented at OFFTA 2019. Often site-specific and always interdisciplinary, LION LION’s projects tend to experiment with the conventions that bind a work and the community it crosses.
