Corps tendres

Lucie Yerlès [Be]

Sensitive, acrobatic tales

Corps tendres is an exploration of the sense of touch — touch as a gesture of attention, tenderness, safety, guidance, and sometimes even violence.

In this immersive performance, four acrobats and a musician invite us to experience a sensory and unifying journey. Blending acrobatic feats with collective reflection on notions of trust and consent, this new creation by Lucie Yerlès joyfully sheds light on our relationship to bodies and their interactions.
A performance to be experienced with family, alone or with others, regardless of your age, background, or sensitivity.Le dispositif scénique doux et ludique engage spectateur·ices et artistes dans une réflexion collective sur la confiance, le consentement et les limites. Les récits partagés et les corps en mouvement se rencontrent alors pour dessiner une cartographie joyeuse et politique de nos rapports au(x) autres. Un spectacle à vivre en famille, seul·e ou à plusieurs, quel que soit votre âge, votre parcours ou votre sensibilité.
