Lab of tenderness is no ordinary performance. It is an experience you feel, hear, smell.
A play between proximity and distance, surrender and control. Here, circus and experiential theatre merge in a series of rituals that touch on the core of existence: birth, life, loss. Without words, you are taken into a world where your body becomes the centre of attention. You are carried, rocked, wrapped in cloths that normally float high in the air. Scents evoke memories, whispers caress your ears, light and dark play with your perception. A simple gesture, a juggling act with cloths – takes on a deeper meaning, as if everything revolves around the space between touching and letting go. Do you dare to surrender?
