Agathe and Adrien are a contemporary circus duo who push the limits and expectations of their own bodies and gender norms. Their work is provocative, dysfunctional and tender, and brings the viewer to question their own assumptions. The story features two protagonists and their relationship navigating between complicity and power struggles using acrobatics as their vocabulary. Skillfully combining hand to hand, Icarian games and dance, the archetypes fall in battle, giving way to a quest for friendship and fairness through power and fluidity.

The duo will perform and teach at locations around New England presented by several collaborators including at the New England Center for Circus Arts where they will do one show, one public workshop plus an in house workshop for the ProTrack students.

Their appearance at NECCA and in Brattleboro is important in installing high level inspirational performance that speaks to diverse audiences in rural Vermont where the economic level is low.
