‘Virtuoso acrobatics serving a powerful artistic vision. Totally compelling’. Telerama
Two young men explore their relationship through the language of acrobatics. There’s tenderness and violence, attraction, loneliness and fear. The company’s name plays with an ancient Roman proverb, ‘man is a wolf to man’, always preying on one another yet complicit and dependent. This powerful duet goes straight to the heart of the matter as it explores a web of complex emotions.
Frenchman Alexandre Fray and Quebec-born Frederic Arsenault were award-winners at the 2006 Jeunes Talents Cirque in Paris with this tour de force for two acrobats. Startling, daring and unusual their debut show creates a form of circus-theatre that goes way beyond mere physical prowess. Director, Arnaud Anckaert, is well known in France for his staging of plays by modern European writers including Daniil Kharms, Peter Handke and Enda Walsh.Co-production: Les Migrateurs / Le Maillon / associes pour les Arts du Cirque – Alsace; Equinoxe, Scene nationale de Chateauroux; Culture Commune, Scene national du basin minier du Pas de Calais.
