Métal Velours
Cie Humo y Polvo (Be)
acrobatic cycling and acro-dance
‘Métal Velours’ is a rebellion fuelled by tenderness, with bicycles riding backwards and with no destination in sight; it’s full of contradictions; it’s the shrill clang of metal and the whispers of our mothers. In a dynamic and refreshing trio of two acrobats and one musician, a street corner comes to life – a place to shed one’s armour, let out a good shout and see what happens next.

The artists
Cie Humo y Polvo
The company Humo y Polvo, or smoke and dust in English, was founded in 2022 by Chilean artist Martina Calvo and Swiss artist Morgane Maret. They met during their three years of study together at ESAC (Brussels). Their shared interests in acro-dance and the visual arts led them to explore and question together, culminating in the creation of their first show as a duo: I dreamt I had hairy teeth. They create cinematographic universes with sensitivity and strength, seeking to challenge societal stereotypes about women.
