'Superb. Absolutely must be seen’.
La Depeche

Two women - they could be sisters, lovers or shadows. Your imagination will decide. Hanging centre stage like a lightening conductor, a rope. On and around it their story unfolds, without a word, passionate, fierce and disturbing. Inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre’s drama, Huis Clos, a place from which there is no exit, where ‘hell is other people’.

Unusual, bold and completely involving, Tendre Suie has toured extensively in Europe and South America.

Clémentine Lamouret and Elsa Caillat met at the French National Circus School in Chalons-en-Champagne, where they both specialized in rope and aerial work. Premiered in 2010, Tendre Suie is their second production.

Circus-theatre with a compelling story, packing a real punch.
